A fine classic story of just how the first teddy bear was created

The First Teddy Bear is an informative and entertaining read which deserves ongoing and continuing recommendation as a fine classic story of just how the first teddy bear was created. 38 pages of detailed text pair Susan Detwiler's expert drawings with the real story of a president's involvement in the first teddy bear.

A children's book that will also touch adults

Everyone knows the Teddy Bear is named after Theodore Roosevelt, but most people don't know exactly why. This fanciful story is half political and half a fairy tale. I don't mind reading it to children because it happens to be true. The illustrations are beautiful. The total effect is enchanting.
