I am currently assembling a short history of teddy bears for Adop-ted (my capstone project) and am looking for good books & websites for information and references. So far, the majority of sites seem to be dedicated teddy bear clubs and there is a definite lack of teddy bear history books in the university library.

I also have to craft and distribute a questionnaire about teddy bears and learning to parents with young children so that I can justify them as my “target consumer”.

If you have any information about the history of the teddy bear (with a solid bibliographical background) please let me know!

Thanks :)
