MORE ABOUT THESE BEARS
When in the autumn of 1905, I created the characters of TEDDY-Band TEDDY-G I builded better than I knew. I brought these bearsout of their mountain den in Colorado and started them on their tour ofthe East to teach children that animals, even bears, may have somemeasure of human feeling; that the primary purpose of animals is notnecessarily that of supplying sport for the hunter. That this lesson hasbeen abundantly taught is proven by the overwhelming welcome giventhe Teddy Bears by the boys and girls of the United States; and it issafe to say that the traditional “bear will get you” has now and foreverlost its frightening significance.
This book is a sequel to “The Travels and Adventures of theRoosevelt Bears,” and completes the story of the tour of TEDDY-B andTEDDY-G from Colorado to Washington. The third volume willreport in jingle and picture the tour of the Teddy Bears abroad.
