A Brief Character Overview
Wobbly Bear
Wobbly is in a way our entrée into The Teddy Bear School. Most stories will open with Wobbly and one of the other characters working or playing together. He will look up, notice we are there and offer his cheerfully surprised greeting “T’dy!! Come on in!” drawing us right into the fun.

Barley
The Teddy Bear School founder and teacher is from the old school of Teddies, the hand- made ones who started out with really good Teddy Bear instincts, and who have only gotten better with experience and age.

Mookoo the Monkey
Mookoo lives in the kitschy cuckoo clock up on the wall. He is short in stature, but long in opinions!
His cuckoo clock home is a jungle-style hut, and the clock is complete with bananas for weights. One never knows when he will come popping out of the clock with a “Mookoo! Mookoo!” and grabbing a banana before popping right back in.

Mimi
Mimi is a lively and instantly likable 5-year old teddy bear. Her parents were both music box Teddies from another era. She sometimes talks about her musical sisters and brothers, Doe-doe, Rae-Ray, Fa-Fa and So-So. Not surprisingly, then, music is central to Mimi’s life and personality.

Giggle
At “two years - and a qwarter!” old, Giggle may be the smallest Teddy Bear in Teddy Bear School, but she’s definitely the pwoudest of her age. Named for her penchant to giggle all the time, she finds something funny in almost everything.

Rackets
Rackets the cat is Barley’s oldest friend and confidante. It was Rackets and Barley who put together Teddy Bear School in the first place, and she is very involved in the daily operations. She has lived in the ‘real’ world for a long time and has “learned” much about the ways of people both young and old. For more about Rackets, click here
Three Little Ladybugs
These little characters hang out together and perform as a comical trio at various points.
The ladybugs are fully and humorously anthropomorphized, and are not gender specific. They walk upright wearing their shells like backpacks. They love to run, jump, and leap great distances. They ride bikes, drive cars and sail boats.
