The Teddy Bear Collection Hardcover – January 1, 1998

I found this at the library 2 days ago when I picked books for my 6 1/2 yr old daughter. She latched onto it when she had the sniffles & felt like snuggling yesterday. In not much more than 24 hrs, I have read to her all 12 stories (96 pages). Every time we finished one, she wanted another. They are clever & the perfect length. Some will remind you of other stories, but they are very cute & timeless. They make you think. The illustrations are priceless; we loved finding the teddy bears almost too tiny to see & the bear pawprints hidden on each page. I did not like the book often putting down humans compared to teddy bears. I know it was all in fun, but it was unnecessary.

This is my favorite book to read to my Grandchildren. It is colorful, very well illustrated and interactive - each page contains a hidden bear paw for the kids to find while you read the story! All of my Grandchildren loved this book! But it's getting hard to find so if you can get a copy you won't be disappointed! The service was great - book in excellent condition and delivered on time! Thanks!!!

They are a good length for bedtine stories. The illustrations are nice and the story themes vary enough to keep interest.
