Isaac James Remmington,
age 3, lived in
Newtown,
New Jersey. Isaac liked playing with
his best friend, Teddy Bear.
Daddy, Mommy and Great-Grandpa
knew how much
Isaac
loved Teddy Bear.
One
day, while walking in the park,
Isaac
and Teddy
Bear came upon a giant hollow tree.
Before
Isaac
knew what was happening, Teddy
Bear had lifted him into the opening of the
tree.
Isaac
felt himself twisting and turning
down the hollow tree.
“What’s going on? I’m scared!” yelled
Isaac
.
“Don’t
worry. We are together,” said Teddy Bear as he reached out and held
his hand.
Isaac
was surprised. It is not dark and scary
at all. Everything was light and sparkling, just like fireworks.
They
tumbled through the cotton candy clouds and down a rainbow slide. They
passed the ice cream sundae mountains and landed in the sugar plum field.
“It’s
beautiful here. Where are we?” asked
Isaac
.
“This
is Teddy Bear Land! Come on, follow me!” replied Teddy Bear.
They
skipped down a lemon drop path through the jelly bean park, where bunnies
were playing hide-and-seek. After passing the strawberry soda fountain,
they came to a beautiful gingerbread castle.
A
handsome cowboy bear invited them inside. The courtyard was crowded with
teddy bears who were all playing different games. Some were riding bicycles
and others were roller skating. One bear was swinging so high in a tree
that
Isaac
thought
he would fly right off the swing. Then
Isaac
and Teddy Bear joined in a game of leap
frog.
All
afternoon they played games with the teddy bears.
Isaac
swung from the trees on red licorice ropes, splashed in the
pink lemonade waterfall and picked wild gum drops.
“I
wish Daddy, Mommy and Great-Grandpa were here,
too,”
Isaac
thought.
All
the teddy bears enjoyed playing with
Isaac
.
The
teddy bears decided to have a grand celebration. At the party,
Isaac James Remmington received a crown and
became a royal member of the Teddy Bear Land. The trumpeters played for
him, and the jugglers and jesters all
performed.
“Hooray for
Isaac
! Please stay with us
forever,” all the teddy bears pleaded.
Isaac
exclaimed, “Oh yes, I’d love to stay here with you.”
But
Teddy Bear said, “No, we should be going home.”
Isaac
replied, “You’re right. We must return
to Newtown, New Jersey.
Daddy, Mommy and Great-Grandpa
will be worried.”
So
Isaac
and Teddy Bear waved goodbye to their
friends and began the journey home.
As
they walked outside the castle gates, two pink marshmallow bunnies appeared.
“Climb aboard!” the bunny rabbits said. “We will help you go home.”
Isaac
and Teddy Bear gladly accepted the ride
and jumped in the cozy saddles. The bunnies hopped their way out of Teddy
Bear Land, past the ice cream, sundae mountains and the sugar plum field.
Finally they arrived at the biggest tree in the forest. Teddy Bear pointed
and said, “This tree leads us home.”
Isaac
waved farewell to the bunny rabbits and
thanked them for the wonderful ride.
Isaac
said, “Let’s go, Teddy Bear. I can’t wait to tell
Daddy, Mommy and Great-Grandpa
about our exciting adventure in Teddy
Bear Land.
