A block party of bears by Debora Hoffmann

Longfellow

Longfellow was named for his long snout and for his love of literature. (Do teddy bear magazines count as literature?) His fur is dark brown alpaca with blue-gray strands, which his silvery-blue nose and pawpads set off quite nicely. His expressive black glass eyes tell you that he'll keep all your secrets, but don't think for a moment that he likes to sit back and watch the action--he wants to be in the middle of it! Longfellow is stuffed with polyester stuffing and plastic pellets, and he's an armful with a sweet smile.

With his large feet, Longfellow is able to stand unaided. He is just about 15.5 inches tall.

Longfellow and Levi

Longfellow watched over the New Avenue Crew studio and all the smaller bears for a year or so, but now he lives with someone special in Massachusetts. He very much hopes that he can give lots of good hugs and be a source of comfort to his new mom.
