The World's Most Famous Teddy Bears
The teddy bear, that cute 20th century superstar and everybody's favorite childhood soft toy, has an enviable pedigree. Launched into existence more than a hundred decades ago by no less than a former President of the USA in America, and almost simultaneously in Germany, teddy bears proceeded to catch the public imagination as no other stuffed toy has done thus far. It had been cuddly, endearing and reassuring. Little wonder than nearly everybody, from distinguished statesmen into the child in the neighbourhood clamoured for one.
Teddy bears are, without doubt, everyone's favourite stuffed animal.
Here are a Few of the all-time favorites:
1. Winnie the Pooh / Pooh Bear
Winnie the Pooh is possibly one of the most famous bears . He is a fictional character created by A.A Milne, a highly regarded author and playwright. His birth has an intriguing story...
During a routine stop of a train transporting troops from Winnipeg (Manitoba, Canada) to eastern Canada during the WWI, in White River, Ontario, a young lieutenant Harry Colebourn bought a tiny female black bear cub from the man who'd just shot its mother. The orphan was named'Winnipeg', after his hometown of Winnipeg, and shortened to'Winnie'.
In cute teddy bear names , Colebourn presented the London Zoo with Winnie where it immediately became a massive attraction. The London Zoo became Winnie's home till she died in 1934.
Christopher Robin, son of writer A.A. Milne, used to appreciate this little, black bear and'd even nicknamed his own stuffed bear'Winnie'. It was his son's fascination for this particular bear that prompted Milne to write a whole series of books about Winnie the Pooh. Incidentally, the name of Pooh originally belonged into a swan. 'Winnie-the-Pooh' was published by Methuen on October 14th, 1926.
Nowadays, children's toy shops are dominated by Pooh paraphernalia. There are Winnie-the-Pooh bears, clothes, bedding, animated cartoons, and even web sites.
2. Paddington Bear
A classic among children's literature, Paddington Bear was charming children of all ages since it was first created with a British writer, Michael Bond, in 1958.
Bond depended upon a teddy bear sitting somewhat forlornly onto a shelf at a store near Paddington Station in London in 1956. Something about this solitary monster caught Bond's creativity and he shortly penned the first book known as'A Bear Called Paddington'. This adorable little bear is actually an immigrant who hailed from Darkest Peru. He hid himself on the lifeboat of a ship and arrived in England, as advised by his Aunt Lucy who had reared him so far.
