Product Description

According to Ted Menten, premier authority on the subject of collectible teddy bear construction, making these plush little companions can be a highly creative pursuit. Unlike other toys that were once handmade and are now machine-produced, teddy bears remain basically the same as they were when first created in 1903. Emphasizing the fun, expressive aspect of this time-honored handcraft, Menten offers a unique new technique developed in his popular teddy bear-making classes, using basic patterns that can be modified and interchanged to create uniquely personal bears any crafter will display with pride. Ted Menten is the author of Gentle Closings and After Goodbye. He also created the magazine Teddy Bear Review, has written 19 books on the subject, and conducts teddy bear-making classes around the world.

3.0 out of 5 stars Feedback on Ted Menten Book, January 18, 2007

By	A. Hicks "Frosty" (Geogia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an informative book for a true beginner but does not get too up close & personal in fine detail as with many teddy bear making books. Many questions still remain unanswered but it will give a brief overview like most bear making books if that is all you are looking for.

I have this book and it's been on the shelf since I received it. It's not impressive. Try other authors such as Jennifer Lange.
