Author: Janet Wyman Coleman
Publisher: Dutton Children's Books
Number of Pages: 64

The Famous Bears and Friends book is a wonderful book for all ages. It has stories of the first teddy bears invented including Paddington Bear and Winnie the Pooh. I enjoyed the great stories because they had so much adventure, like when Corduroy went to go get another button for his coveralls. I didn't like some of the history in this book because it used sentences I didn't understand. A book similar to this one is The Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. I loved reading this book. If you love reading about your favorite teddy bears, you need to read this book! (January, 2003)
