The story goes that on a hunting trip in 1902, President Theodore
?Teddy? Roosevelt refused to shoot a bear. ?Me? Shoot that little
fella he said. ?Why, if I so much as ruffled his fur, I'd never be
able to look my children in the eyes again!? When a political
cartoonist shared the story in the newspaper, New York shopkeepers
Rosie and Morris Michtom were impressed by the president's big,
warm heart. So they decided to create a ?Teddy? bear in his honor
to sell in their store. The bear was so popular, they made another
one. And another. Before they knew it, they had to build a factory
to accommodate the demand: it seemed every child wanted a teddy
bear of their own! James Sage uses a playful blend of fact and
fiction to tell this entertaining tale. The back matter includes a
historical note, photos and a list of sources. The lively, fun
narrative and vivid illustrations by Lisk Feng make for a wonderful
read-aloud with universal appeal: adults will find it as charming
as children do. The book has many applications in the social
studies curriculum for the early grades, as the period and the
president are brought vividly to life. And, of course, it's a
perfect pick for Presidents' Day. The story also presents an
inspiring small-business entrepreneurial success story.
