Let Teddy Bear and his enchanting adventures ignite a lifelong love of reading in young children. Complete with storytelling guides, dramatization tips, easy-cut-out patterns, and enrichment activities, on-the-go librarians can focus more on storytime and less on time-consuming research and preparation. Yousha uses a proven approach to early-childhood programming through recognizable, recurring characters and interactive narratives. Vibrant stories and patterns will turn your flannel or magnetic storyboard into a magic board that will captivate young library patrons.

This brand new storyboard book includes a variety of engaging and educational Teddy Bear tales, including learning to be a good sport and a good friend and Teddy Bear vacations and holidays, all with child-friendly titles like “You’re Never Too Young to be a Hero,” “Finding the Perfect Pet”, and “Let’s Make Some Noise”. Yousha also recommends additional books to read aloud that extend each chapter’s theme. The companion CD-ROM offers easy viewing, sharing, and printing of the patterns needed for characters and scenery, a bonus for busy teachers, librarians, especially those who work in multiple locations.

"...a valuable resource for teachers, librarians, or other educators working with toddlers, kindergartners, or first or second graders...very readable and well organized...No doubt, it is a worthy project for a storyteller."
-- Public Libraries, September/October 2009
 
"The best feature here is the recycling of the characters in each tale, so storytellers only have to fabricate these figures once. The selections have a lot of child appeal."
-- School Library Journal, July 1, 2009
