From the Back Cover
A salute to the American Teddy Bear! From the ritualistic Indian culture focusing on the bear, to American teddy bear manufacturers, the American Teddy Bear Encyclopedia provides an in-depth report on America's favorite collectible-the teddy bear. The origin of the word "teddy bear" is highlighted beginning with the story of Roosevelt saving the life of a beloved bear on a hunting expedition. This story was told to the world by Clifford Berryman's famous cartoon.
In the tradition of honoring the bear, renowned author Linda Mullins has researched various American manufacturing companies such as Gund, Ideal, Knickerbocker, Applause, North American Bear Co., R. John Wright, The Boyds Collection, and many more. The form of the collectible bear is also illustrated with chapters on teddy bear figurines, advertising bears and teddy bear restoration. This book also features one of America's most famous bears-Smokey Bear.

World filled with Teddy Bear,
By A Customer
This review is from: American Teddy Bear Encyclopedia (Hardcover)
This book allows you to have a trip to "the world of Teddy Bear". The book is filled with many different styles, design and personalities of teddy bear, a lot of ideas will come out after reading it(as I like to make teddy bear by myself). Although there is no step in making the teddy bears, you will be impressed by the arts of teddy bear! This is really a good encyclopedia for you to have a look on the teddy bear world, just like to have a look on all kinds of people over the world.
