The plot involved the economic de- velopment of third world countries and the growing importance of the United States as the world's biggest consumer of stuffed toys. In order to advance both of these interests, the Court of International Trade (CIT) overruled previous trade cases and redefined a tariff classification in order to allow stuffed figures of E.T.

READING Reading Page 3 Read the selection and choose the best answer to each question. Then fill in theansweronyouranswerdocument. from Jake Drake, Teacher’s Pet by Andrew Clements 1 When I was in third grade, we got five new computers in our classroom. Mrs. Snavin was my third-grade teacher, and she acted like computers were scary, especially the new ones. She always needed to look at a how-to book and the computer at the same time. Even then, she got mixed up a lot. Then she had to call Mrs. Reed, the librarian, to come and show her what to do. 2 So it was a Monday morning in May, and Mrs. Snavin was sitting in front of a new computer at the back of the room. She was confused about a program we were supposed to use for a math project. My desk was near the computers, and I was watching her. 3 Mrs. Snavin looked at the screen, and then she looked at this book, and then back at the screen again. Then she shook her head and let out this big sigh. I could tell she was almost ready to call Mrs. Reed. 4 I’ve always liked computers, and I know how to do some stuff with them. Like turn them on and open programs, play games and type, make drawings, and build Web pages—things like that.

I now have a much clearer vision of how my collection should look. I love all of my bears, but have simply run out of room and want to cut back a large percentage, so I can re-grow it with my current knowledge. So it’s time to call the auctioneers in, I can’t think of any safer hands to pass them onto than my teddy friend, Daniel Agnew of Special Auction Services, to send them all to their new homes. I think it would be great fun and I will enjoy seeing my beloved bears finding new owners.” “I first started collecting teddy bears because my daughter-in-law bought me a teddy bear and the Teddy Bear Encyclopaedia for a milestone birthday, which sparked an interest and I started looking at antique bears online.

    Introduction .................................................................................... 2 Background and Criticism ............................................................ 5 The Books ......................................................................................12 The Movie ......................................................................................15 Winnie-the-Pooh and Friends .....................................................20 Conclusion .....................................................................................28 Works Cited ..................................................................................32 Gylfadóttir, 2 Introduction In the 1920s an English author by the name of A. A. Milne wrote two books about a bear named Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends. The former was called simply Winnie- the-Pooh (WP) and was published in 1926, and the second, The House at Pooh Corner (HPC), was published in 1928. The books contain a collection of stories that the author used to tell to his son before he went to bed in the evening and they came to be counted among the most widely known children‟s stories in literary history. Many consider the books about Winnie-the-Pooh some of the greatest literary works ever written for children. They have been lined up and compared with such classic masterpieces as Alice in Wonderland (1865) by Lewis Carroll and The Wind in the Willows (1908) by Kenneth Graham. How Milne uses poetry and prose together in his stories has earned him a place next to some of the great poets, such as E. Nesbit, Walter de la Mare and Robert Louis Stevenson (Greene). In my view, the author‟s basic purpose with writing the books was to make children, his son in particular, happy, and to give them a chance to enter an “enchanted place” (HPC 508). The books were not written to be a means of education or to be the source of constant in-depth analysis of over-zealous critics.

  • Steiff Club Magazine 02/2019 2 Editorial Editorial 3
    Steiff Club Magazine 02/2019 2 Editorial Editorial 3 Dear Steiff friends, We have found that our competitions are becoming more and more popular. The number of entrants is constantly growing. Of course, there are some significant differences. For instance, the "Pattern bear" competition in the last issue of the Club magazine was nowhere near as popular as the competition that we staged as part of the advance notice of the Margarete Steiff edition in May. What is always exciting yet hard to answer is the question of what ultimately persuades you, our Club members, to enter a competition. Is it the kind of questions, the prizes on offer, or simply the fact that there may be the occasional additional reminder for the competition? We don't know, but we are already curious to see how many of you enter the competition on page 38. You will probably have to do a little bit of research to find the answers. You could also be a winner if you are devoted to the items in the Margarete Steiff edition. Starting on page 12, you can find out how the “Margarete Steiff Elephant on wheels” came into being, and what charming details make this exclusive piece so special. And once again, I'd like to draw your attention to Steiff's co-operation with National Geographic (page 28). This is a subject that affects us all, and should not be ignored. Along with lots of other information, you'll learn that a Teddy bear once inspired a woman who was to become a best-selling writer to write and illustrate her first book (page 31), and you can immerse yourself in newly-opened "Worlds of Steiff" both at home and abroad (from page 42).

  • Collecting Old Teddy Bears Part II: Bears from Outside the UK by Jill Byron
    Teddy Bears Collecting Old Teddy Bears Part II: Bears from outside the UK by Jill Byron Margarete Steiff started her now famous company, making soft toys in 1880 but the teddy bears would not be a part of it until 1903, when her nephew, Richard, took some soft toys and a large bear to a showroom in New York, to promote Steiff goods. There, an American buyer, Hermann Berg, saw one of the Steiff bears, ‘Bar 55 PB’ and ordered 3,000 of them and the rest, as they say, is history. Steiff’s wonderful old bears are recog- nised as the ‘Rolls-Royces’ of the bear world and as such, are highly sought after by 1940s-50s pink musical Tara 1905 small Ideal bear. (Old collectors, with fabulous sums of money changing hands for several well-known bears Bear Scene) £395. Toys bear. such as ‘Happy’, who was bought for £55,000 by Paul and Rosemary Volpp in 1989 and ‘Teddy Girl’, purchased for £110,000 by Yoshihiro Sekiguchi, President of the Japanese toy company ‘Sun Arrow’ in 1994. In the year 2000, an old black Steiff, made as a mourning bear when the Titanic sank in 1912, was sold for £91,750 and ‘Elliot’ a unique blue Steiff, went to a Canadian buyer for £49,500. Christie’s held the first ever auction of teddy bears in 1993 and were the sellers of Happy, Teddy Girl, Elliot and the black Titanic Steiff but as the years have gone past, even old Steiffs, which would have commanded a high price a few years ago, have dropped in value, so that it is possible to buy some of them now for a very reasonable price.

  • Cheeky & Punkie Bears
    CHEEKY & PUNKIE BEARS 2020 COLLECTION It is with a great sense of pride that I welcome you to Merrythought’s 2020 collection of Cheeky and Punkie bears It was 90 years ago this year when my great-grandfather started to realise his ambition to create Britain’s leading soft toy company, and it is testimony to his talent and dedication, and that of my grandfather and late father who followed him, that his legacy lives on today. I am honoured that Merrythought has been at the heart of my family for four generations, and that with the help of the fantastic team at our home in Ironbridge, the company continues to hand-make each teddy bear in the same building where it all began, back in 1930. This collection showcases Merrythought’s special 90th Anniversary Commemorative Cheeky and Teddy Bears, featured on pages 11 and 12, along with a beautiful range of new limited edition characters that really celebrate our high standards of quality and design. Together with our commitment to using superior materials and fine attention to detail, we aim to create teddy bears with individual personalities that bring many years of enjoyment. Sarah Holmes, Managing Director The Merrythought teddy bear; A companion for life All bears in this collection feature jointed head and limbs, and are partly bean-filled. Each is presented in a premium cotton drawstring dust bag, unless otherwise stated.
