Teddy Bear Reading - Books & Readers Greeting Card

INSIDE GREETING: ...when we need to stay where we are. Mason Cooley

In a scene of pure childhood imagination, a lovable teddy bear sits carefully reading a book to two attentive companions. Nestled together in a cozy setting, the storytelling bear holds an open book with remarkable concentration, its fuzzy paws gently turning the pages. The two listening bears lean in close, their button eyes wide with wonder, hanging on every imaginary word. This tender moment captures the magic of storytelling, transforming stuffed toys into the most devoted of friends, sharing a world of adventure between them.

The author and illustrator Alexandra Day, the pen name of Sandra Louise Woodward Darling, was born on September 7, 1941. Many know her as the creative mind behind Good Dog, Carl, a beloved series depicting the adventures of a Rottweiler named Carl, who lovingly cares for a baby named Madeleine. Her own Rottweiler, Toby, served as the beloved model for Carl. Subsequent sequels featured other cherished Darling family Rottweilers. Alongside her husband, Harold Darling, she co-founded Green Tiger Press in 1970 (the very first publisher of Carl books). In 1983, she added The Teddy Bears' Picnic to her impressive portfolio—a delightful adaptation of Jimmy Kennedy's cherished children's song. Upon relocating to Seattle in 1993, the Darlings established Laughing Elephant, a creative haven that continues to inspire. Sandra's lifelong commitment to art shines through her enduring works, captivating audiences young and old with her boundless creativity.
