Why this special day to celebrate our beloved
little bear?
Teddybears are believed to be named after USA president Theodore "Teddy "
Roosevelt (president 1901-1909). The president was out hunting and when he
refused to shoot a very young bear it caused a great interest in the newspapers.
And why this special date for the International Teddy Bear Day, the 27th of
October? Beacause President Roosevelt´s birthday was on that day. This day is
celebrated on 27th of October in USA and UK and now also in libraries and
preschools in Scandinavia. On that special day children come with their
teddybears to listen to stories, sing songs, take part in plays and to choose
books to read to their beloved teddybears.

You are always by my side
With me
Always in my heart
Always in my mind
If time goes by
My love for you will never die"
