The teddy bear is, for many of us, the quintessential childhood toy. He (or she) sits in wagons, attends tea parties, loves to listen to stories, rides on the backs of tricycles, stands
guard, and best of all, loves to tuck into bed with their owners. They are enough like us humans to be loved as we love our family and friends, and yet different enough to be funny and
lovable. Needless to say, they are favorite characters in children's picture books. We offer 30 of our favorite illustrations. Among the included illustrators are: Honor Appleton, Roy Best,
Lawson Wood, and Jessie Willcox Smith.
