I came to your store when I was in the second grade with my parents ( I just celebrated my 30th birthday). They purchased me three brown teddy bears. I am not sure the brand but they had little peach mouths that you could open and close….. I fear after all these years he has gone missing….. I know that a replacement would not be the same but i feel that it could be a start. I would love to purchase another. Thank you, Sarah

Hi Sarah,
Thanks for writing to me.  I have found a teddy that I hope is very close to yours.  He
is golden and very soft (loves to be hugged and not afraid to fly)
He is 8 inches sitting and has a little pink tongue. I’m sure this is not the same bear,
but he would be a very good friend.  His price is $11.95 + shipping.  If this sounds
good, let us know and  we will work out the details so he can come to your house.

Thanks, Ralph

News from Ralph’s Review

I hope everyone has been enjoying summer.  Did you wish Smokey Bear Happy Birthday on 8/9/09 ?  Smokey Bear was 65 on his birthday, that’s lots of years preventing forest fires !  We are always looking for new Smokey items for collectors, so check Smokey’s section often to see whats new.

Thanks, Ralph

News from the desk of Abe Zimmerman

Hi everyone !  Have you looked at the “Sock Animals” section of our website lately ?  I have been very busy finding new friends for our Sock department.  The new Sock friends from designer Paul Frank are really something and very fashionable too !  Hope that you will want to add Julius to your sock family.

Is the Gund bear on your site (G-7190) a licensed bear — or is it just one that resembles Little Bear from the Sendak books? Kathy from Aurora, Colorado

The “Little Bear” is official and is licensed by GUND.  He also comes with a “Maurice Sendak’s Little Bear” custom tag and a sewn-in “Little Bear Series” copyright tag too.

Thanks, Ralph

Hi Abe! I would like to hear some of your traveling stories, especially about cruises you’ve been on. Judy

Hi Judy,  Thanks a bunch for writing to me!  I LOVE to go on cruises, ’cause they have
all the bananas you can eat !!  My favorite time was when I went to the fancy dining room
and the waiter brought me a banana on a silver tray and peeled it for me with a silver
knife … boy, that’s livin

Hey Abe! I’m a huge fan!! My question, is what is your favorite place you’ve been and why? Kim from Illinois

Hi Kim,  Thanks a bunch for being one of my fans.  Since you are from IL, I will tell you
about my favorite place in IL … I went to the Sock Monkey Museum in Rockford.  It was
great, I visited many other Sock Monkeys and learned a lot about my relatives.  I’m
sending you a picture of when I was visiting.

Hi Ralph, I was wondering if you have any other kinds of bears at the Ark that are not on your website? Thanks, Susan from Illinois

YES! We have so many bears in the Ark that they could bearly ever fit
on our website. We have lots of really big bears and lots of really
tiny miniature bears and hundreds in between. You can always call or
email if you are looking for a certain bear.

Thanks, Ralph

Abe, are all Sock Monkeys the same ?

Signed,  Sally from Texas

Hi Sally,  Sock Monkeys are NOT all the same, just like humans are not all the same. We come from different socks and backrounds.
