This is a sort of true story, according to the author, and from what I remember of history, he has got the basics down. Teddy Roosevelt, who was president of the US, at the time, did not shoot a baby bear, and that inspired a toy maker to make toy versions of the bear, and name it after him, aka Teddy Bear.
What is cool is that the original cartoon of Teddy not shooting a bear is reproduced at the end of the book, so you can see what inspired the toy.
And that the president said it was ok to use his name on the bear.
A fun telling of this story, which bright pictures, and a cool sort of history book. Thought not 100% accurate, the author says we donât know if the cartoonist offered a donut to the copy boy, the main part of the story is true, as far as we know.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

âYouâre about to read the extraordinary, almost true, tale about a toy that swept a nation...â
Incredibly cute tale about the origins of the âTeddy Bearâ.
I remember that the bearâs were named after Teddy Roosevelt, but never really knew why.
LOVED the illustrations. Unique and for the story well.
Highly recommend!
*thanks to the publisher for the e-copy for review!

Who didn't have a Teddy Bear when they were younger (or still) that they didn't love? The story of the Teddy Bear comes to life in this little book! President Theodore Roosevelt refused to shoot a bear cub, and the subsequent cartoon about the incident led to the creation of one of the nations most beloved toys!
This book was so adorable, and a fun read! I loved it!
Thank you to NetGalley and Kids Can Press Publishers for the advanced e-copy of the book!

Really great book that recall the story, or history, of the Teddy bear origin. I didn't know about it and even if it's very anecdotal, it's a very amusing story that please me a lot!
