All teddy bears share wonderful qualities. They are sweet and innocently generous, filled with good humor and cheer; every soft, comforting one has a trusting little heart. Please join us on a visit into The Secret World of Teddy Bears.

For everyone who has ever had a Teddy Bear, here is a charming glimpse into their secret world, a rare and privileged peek into the lives they lead when we're not around to watch. The warm, full-color photographs reveal all the magic of this enchanted world, and the accompanying poems bring the Teddies to life with a spirit of fun, delight, and tender respect.

The Bears and their friends carry on in a variety of surprising and familiar ways: they attend birthday parties, take ballet lessons, have picnics, bake pies. And, indeed, like many creatures intent on self-improvement, some go out for daily five-mile jogs. Brand new Bears with thick and glossy coats mix playfully with their gentle ancestors, whose fur may be a bit bedraggled or thinly worn from loving hands.
