Ted and Pax Bear are the oldest in a very large family of bears who live in Waldorf, Maryland, with Missy Pat, a retired teacher, and Mr. Bob, who is retired from the Air Force. Ted is the oldest at 34 years old, and Pax is 30 years old. At that age, a bear's eyes get tired, so Ted and Pax have to wear glasses. Years ago, when Pax would go to work with Mr. Bob, Ted would help Missy Pat recruit other bears to ride in police cars. These bears helped the police officers provide comfort to children who felt afraid and alone. And Ted was happy helping other bears find a loving home like the one he an Pax share with Missy Pat and Mr. Bob. Ted and Pax have always likes listening with their big ears to Missy Pat and Mr. Bob when they talked about visiting distant lands. One day Ted asked if they could travel to some of those exotic places with Missy Pat and Mr. Bob. They all chose South Africa as the place they'd like to visit. When they returned, Ted decided that he and Pax would write this book and share their amazing experiences with you.

According to Ted Menten, premier authority on the subject of collectible teddy bear construction, making these plush little companions can be a highly creative pursuit. Unlike other toys that were once handmade and are now machine-produced, teddy bears remain basically the same as they were when first created in 1903. Emphasizing the fun, expressive aspect of this time-honored handcraft, Menten offers a unique new technique developed in his popular teddy bear-making classes, using basic patterns that can be modified and interchanged to create uniquely personal bears any crafter will display with pride. Ted Menten is the author of Gentle Closings and After Goodbye. He also created the magazine Teddy Bear Review, has written 19 books on the subject, and conducts teddy bear-making classes around the world.
