Little Bear was a happy bear. He had scruffy fur and wore a white shirt. He lived with lots of other little bears on the top shelf in the toy shop.
All the bears were happy because they knew that they would go to live with a little boy or girl who would love them and cuddle them.
One by one Little Bear’s friends left the toy shop to live in their new home. Little Bear hoped it would be his turn soon.
Little Bear became quite sad as all his friends left him. He was the only bear on the toy shop shelf. One day a beautiful lady came into the shop. She saw Little Bear and knew he was the perfect bear for her little boy.
The beautiful lady took Little Bear home. He was to be the first bear of her little boy Joel. They decided to call Little Bear Baristow.
Baristow loved his new home and he loved Joel. Baristow was the happiest bear in the whole world.
