Here’s a review of a couple of teddy bear books:

Hi friends! Alfie here. Here in #TheHugHouse, we love teddy bear stories. I thought we might tell you about some.

Fitz is the official bibliobear in our Hug, so I’ll turn it over to him:

Book 1:

During my latest library trip, I learned of the book “The Lost Ears”. Unfortunately, the library didn’t have a copy. But I really wanted to read it, so we gathered up our pennies and ordered a used copy.

It’s the story of a tiny teddy bear (even tinier than me!) who lives in the pocket of his human’s pajamas. But one day something happened that changed him. But I am trying to avoid spoilers.

Book 2:

“Where Do Teddy Bears Come From” tells of a wolf cub struggling to fall asleep. He has read stories that include teddy bears, and he decided a teddy bear is what he needs. But he doesn’t know where they come from. He asked his mom, and she didn’t know, so he went out into his community to ask around. His neighbors are familiar faces from traditional children’s stories. 

Eventually, he finds someone who can help him. It’s someone famous and special. But I won’t give it away. 

Book 3:

Finally, the book “Loved to Bits” is reminiscent of ‘The Velveteen Rabbit’. It’s about a boy and his beloved bear who is always by his side… But eventually, all the cuddles and adventures change him. I expected sorrow, and it delivered, to some extent. But it has a sweet ending, and it really reflects the experiences of many stuffed animals. 

What books do you like? Obviously, we are partial to teddy bear books. Whatever you like, just pick up a book and read! It’s so important.
