This bear was very dear to me as a child, and now it adorns my bookshelf, the bookshelf in my office. The little girl who lived across the street from me, when I was 4, loved this bear so much that she stole it from me when her family moved to Colorado. Her parents, a few years later, found it and mailed it back to me. And now I can see it on my shelf every day, looking as regal as ever.
