[Aimee W. · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was obsessed with this book in elementary school, always renting it every week from the school’s library. It tells about the history of teddy bears, and was very informational. It went into depth about how teddy bears evolved through time, talking about the materials used and how popular they were. It’s an interesting encyclopedia to read when you are bored and have nothing to do.

A delightful book. It is heavy to hold though. I dipped in and out of it between books. Beautiful colour photos with descriptions of each teddy bear.
