BAIR: ONE TEDDY BEAR'S ADVENTURES - at 168 pages and illustrated with charming pen and ink drawings - is a tale for the young and young-at-heart. Here is a world where toys live and animals talk. The good-hearted teddy bear, Meerly A. Bair and his young owner face fantasies and fears with touching and funny triumphs of love. In the fanciest department store in town, a lonely, rich, little girl, whose parents are always away on business, smiles at a stuffed bear, and he smiles back. They have many adventures - despite a rigid nanny and a crotchety butler - with a delightful assortment of creatures: an ambitious mouse; a timid earthworm; a forgetful elephant; a sweet toy rabbit; a troublemaking, most expensive doll in the world; and a marvelous mechanical dragon.
