This isn't just a book about making bears. Of course, it IS a book about making bears, with wonderful illustrations, full-size patterns and easy-to-understand directions, but it is also so much more. Each "antique" bear (and rabbit) has his or her own charming character, complete with hobbies and favorite attire. Along with the descriptions of each bear are beautiful photographs of the bears in their "natural" settings and at their favorite pasttimes. I think I like Webster the best, with his high-top boots and his "just in case" skeleton key hanging about his neck. Even if you never make a bear, you still need this book for its quaint English garden and old-fashioned cottage style photographs.

This is a beautiful book with pages of photographs of teddy bears in wonderfully posed scenes. It is also very informative with lots of tips and tricks for making and displaying your bears. Plus, there are lots of full size patterns inside, to make a variety of heartwarming bears. It's just a wonderful book.

This book is well written. Instructions are very clear and easy to understand. The pictures are beautiful. Patterns are extremely well done. The bears I have created from this book were fantastic and truly adorable!

This is a great book. I have made 2 bears from the patterns which are full size and each has come out beautifully. Very nice clear instructions to make beautfiul heirloom bears.

I recently purchased Teddy Bear Magic, and it's by far one of my favorite bear books. The pictures are absolutely beautiful, and the bears are some of the most adorable I've seen in any book for bear makers. The settings, stories and presentation of the bears is very inspirational. The instructions are very clear and the patterns nicely laid out. Highly recommended.
