Where Teddy Bears Come From

In this story, Little Wolf is the main character. One night he has trouble sleeping.
He would sleep better if he had a teddy bear. That's when he realizes he doesn't know where they come from. So, he sets out on a journey through to woods to find out. He encounters "The Three Little Pigs" and "Little Red Riding Hood", but they don't know either...

Everyone loves a fairytale complete with animals. I thought this one would be good to teach animal names, but also just to have a fun story for any language level and for any age. I would adapt it to include gestures and sounds for younger audiences. This would be great for small children & up.
