Feeling Loved
A Ted E. Bear Story

Book Cover & Preview Text
Teddy Bear was sitting on his blue and red race-car bed, proudly looking at the trophies and awards he won that summer. He began to feel impatient waiting for Mom E. Bear to come into his room to say good night to him. “What is taking her so long?” he asked.
Teddy walked down the hall to Lily’s bedroom. He could hear Lily talking to Mommy in a soft, sweet voice. Teddy put his tiny cubby ear to the door so he could hear what Lily was saying.
“Mommy, when you do that I feel loved,” Lily said in the warmest, most grateful voice Teddy ever heard.
Teddy could not imagine what was going on that made Lily sound so very happy. Being the curious bear that he was, Teddy poked his head inside the doorway to snoop on his little sister. Lily’s room was full of everything pink — pink flowers, pink animals, pink pictures, pink jewelry, you name it. Pink, pink, pink. Lily loved the color pink. Teddy thought her room even smelled pink.
He saw Lily’s pretty little face peeking out from the covers, snuggled under her bright pink comforter. Mommy was sitting on the edge of the bed, caressing Lily’s face.
He watched Mommy place her fingertip at the top of Lily’s forehead, run her fingers down the side of Lily’s cheek, stop at her chin and begin again. Over and over she would gently rub Lily’s sweet face from top to bottom. He saw his sister’s tiny smile slowly melt away as she gently fell into a deep, peaceful sleep.
Teddy rushed back to his room. "So that’s it! When Mommy rubs Lily’s face at night, she feels happy and loved!” he remarked to himself.
Mommy doesn’t do that to me, he thought. “What does Mommy do to show her love for me?” he wondered aloud. He climbed under his crumpled up sheets, in deep thought, pledging that tomorrow he would figure out the answer to his question. He was already fast asleep by the time Mommy came to his room to say good night.
The next morning Teddy awoke with an idea. He decided to ask his brothers and sisters what Mommy does that makes each of them feel loved. Would the cubbies be just like Lily, or would they be different? “I bet when the cubbies tell me what makes them feel loved, I’ll figure out what I like best,” he thought.
