Not sure how to tag triggers when the main characters are teddy bears but I'm gonna assume we're projecting characters onto ourselves no matter the species.
Long story short, this book is grim and I cannot believe this is for children but also I can see exactly why this is for children. It really puts mortality and the meaning of life into digestible bits of storytelling so that kids are able to process it at their own age range.
The themes of finding a purpose in life, growing up, friendship, overcoming hardships, and so on are beautifully blended in this story and it's incredibly nuanced. Paired with the motifs of industrial waste, the grim realities of profit and loss in the children's entertainment industry, and more, this book is so so so mature.
Ends in a cliffhanger which is just... dude. Kids are gonna rage.
