Teddy Bear books
One of the most loved books would, of course, be Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day by A. Milne. The story of Winnie and Christopher Robin has melted hearts and made children smile for ages. Christopher Robin was named after Milne’s son. The adventures of Winnie the Pooh will always be a classic.
There is also The Teddy Bears’ Picnic by Jimmy Kennedy- This books stems from the song, “Teddy
Bears’ Picnic” by John Bratton in 1907. The teddy bear song was the first song
to ever mention a teddy bear in it. A few teddy bears want to have a picnic and find other teddy bear families doing the same.
Famous Bears & Friends: One Hundred Years of Teddy Bear stories and Poems by
Janet Coleman- This is a wonderful collection of stories including how the teddy got his name. You can learn who really produced the first teddy bear and read about the many new legends about teddy bears will keep you interested. While the book is short, it’s wonderful for children who can’t sit too long.
The Legend of the Teddy Bear by Frank Murphy. A captivating story that also teaches children a bit about history. A fun story for children of all ages.
If you can’t find these books at local book stores, you might find them at the library. Teaching children to read from books such as these would be fun. You can also teach children to respect books at the same time.
