This volume contains a collection of mostly original tales, starring the youngest member of the Bear family, Teddy Bear. The stories are a mix of gentle life lessons and family dramas, adaptations of traditional stories, and concept guessing games. The author includes scripts and directions for 20 stories, suggestions for additional books and activities, patterns for creating the characters and props (which are also on the CD-ROM), and theme and subject indexes. This work features the recycling of the characters in each tale, so storytellers only have to fabricate these figures once.

Errol can't figure out why, until Thomas finally tells Errol what the teddy has been afraid to say: "In my heart, I've always known that I'm a girl teddy, not a boy teddy. I wish my name was Tilly, not Thomas." And Errol says, "I don't care if you're a girl teddy or a boy teddy! What matters is that you are my friend."
