Content
President Theodore Roosevelt was hunting bear when he came face to face with a lost
bear cub – if we can call a bear lost - all alone in a clearing in the forest.
Moved, the President prevented his men from firing and adopted the little bear, which
became his mascot and extremely popular with the American people.
Theodore soon became Teddy, Teddy being the President’s nickname, and the following
Christmas the first Teddy Bears appeared in children’s stockings. They soon won the
hearts of all children.

About the authors
Karine-Marie Amiot grew up listening to beautiful stories and started inventing them as
soon as she knew how to form letters in her notebook. She loves books: looking at them,
collecting them, reading them and writing them to make children dream. She loves words,
pretty, gentle words, those that sing. Today, as soon as her eight children have put their
satchel on their backs and silence falls on the house…
Karine-Marie Amiot has published many picture books for children, published by Fleurus,
Albin Michel, Mame (Prune et Séraphin series) Lito and Bayard. She now lives in
Versailles.
Nathalie Ragondet was born in 1988. After four years training at the Emile-Cohl school
of applied arts , she published her first illustrations with Le Lapin qui fait peur au loup
(‘Les Classiques’, Père Castor-Flammarion, and a board game Les Musiciens de la ville
de Brême (Editions Jeux FK. Today she works in a shared studio in Lyons, using gouache,
watercolour and digital techniques depending on the project. She particularly enjoys
forest scenes and the creatures, imaginary or real, that live in them.
Le président agita son chapeau et cria :
« Viens jouer, bébé ours ! Saute pour attraper mon chapeau ! Plus haut ! »
Puis il prit sa grosse voix de président et déclara :
« Mes amis, attrapez gentiment cet ourson, attachez-le doucement à une corde,
et rentrons. Cet animal habitera dans mes jardins. Je ne voudrais pas qu’un jour
Dès le lendemain, tous
les journaux racontèrent
l’histoire de l’ourson,
et du nom que le président
lui avait choisi. Et bientôt,
partout dans le pays,
tous les enfants rêvèrent
d’avoir, eux aussi, leur
Teddy.
