This is a cool story that talks about the history of teddy bears. I had no idea that two versions of the teddy bear were created at the same time and that there was a controversy about which one was the original teddy bear. The story is a little dated because it mentions the new millennium, and the illustrations and wording feel a little dated, but I enjoyed reading it anyway.

Very enjoyable and an excellent read for children of all ages (adults included). A cute tale of the history of the two first Teddy Bears or Teddy Bars to have ever come to be.
