    About this ebook

    A SMALL BEAR WITH BIG
    ADVENTURES
    It's a boring, rainy afternoon -- the perfect time for Teddy Bear to share his scrapbook of memories with the little girls who owns him. And what memories Teddy Bear has! He's ridden a bucking bronco in the rodeo, been an ace crime reporter -- he's even starred in a movie! No wonder he's a bit worn and shabby.
    For an ordinary little girl with flat brown hair, it's hard to imagine being important to someone with Teddy's glamorous past. But there's always room in Teddy's life -- and his scrapbook -- for someone who loves him just the way he is.

    Teddy Bear's Scrapbook - James Howe

    TEDDY BEAR’S SCRAPBOOK

    ONE DAY, after it had been raining for a long, long time and I had colored all the pictures in my coloring book, played jacks, dressed my dolls in all their different clothes, read two stories and eaten thirteen cookies, there was NOTHING left to do. It was that day that Teddy Bear suggested we look at his scrapbook. Now, I didn’t know he even had a scrapbook, but, Oh yes, he said, I’ve had this old scrapbook for years. I’ve just never mentioned it before. He told me it had been in the same trunk in the attic where I had found him that first day we moved into this old house.

    I remember finding you, I said. What a surprise to open up that old chest and find a teddy bear right on top. You smelled like mothballs! Teddy giggled. But I don’t remember seeing a scrapbook.

    It was hidden under a blanket, he answered. I waited until you went to sleep. Then I crept upstairs and sneaked the scrap-book down behind my back. I tiptoed across the floor to your dresser, pulled open your bottom drawer (’cause that was the only one I could reach), and dropped it in. Then I stuck a whole lot of stuff on top of it so you wouldn’t notice.

    Why are you going to show it to me now? I asked.

    Because, he replied, you need cheering up. You have that ’I’m getting cranky’ look, and if you get cranky, I won’t have anybody to play with—and that would be no fun at all

    So I walked over to the dresser, opened the bottom drawer, and fished through pajamas and nightgowns until I found it. I pulled out a small, flat, dusty album. The cover was red leather, faded and old-looking, with gold trim around the border and gold lettering in the center that said:

    Teddy Bear’s Scrapbook

    Teddy said, Hurry up and bring it back to the bed so I can see too. And I’ll show you pictures of my life—some of which may surprise you.

    I ran to the bed, put Teddy on my lap so we both could see, and opened the album to the first page.

    TEDDY ON THE RANGE

    AH YES, this was when I went to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to work on a ranch.

    Were you really a cowboy? I asked in amazement.

    Sure. I rounded up cattle and found rustlers, and at night I sat around the campfire with the other cowboys and ate beans.

    Oh my, I said. I had no idea. Why aren’t you a cowboy anymore?

    Teddy was silent for a moment, then he replied softly, That’s a sad story. Are you sure you want to hear it?

    I nodded, and he cleared his throat.

    Well,
