The Teddy Bear Museum

One of the places we visited while at Jeju island was this Teddy Bear Museum. It was located in the same area as the Botanic garden and three waterfalls which we visited on the same day.

The wedding couple at the entrance

It seemed rather eerie seeing life size teddy bears starring at you. I am more used to seeing handheld size bears which are more chubby and cuddly like the ones that I have at home.

A collage made of bears

Music inspired theme collage on bears using CDs and also paper cut outs of dancer bears.

Historic bears

The bears in this showcase was made between 1900-1910. There are more then 100++ years old. It’s really ingenious how they were made back in the olden days.

Teddy bears with husky dogs

I found this exhibit extremely cute. Teddy bears driving husky dogs through the snow. It’s really cool to see the teddy bears being dressed up in winter gear.

Room set up

I would certainly love to have this set up for a room in a doll house which I have. Love the realistic decor and having bears this size as accessories to play within a doll house would be super cool!!

The teddy’s performing the dragon dance celebrating the new year in this exhibit. There were a few teddy bears which went around in a circle as they paraded along with the dragon.

Teddy bear picnic

Loogie the Booger Genie- A Very Nasty Cold by N.E. Castle

The book cover

Loogie the Booger Genie, A Very Nasty Cold by N.E. Castle is the 2nd book in the series about Loogie the Booger Genie.

In 14 chapters in the book we travel on an adventure with Charlie who has a genie who’s bottle was stuck in his nose. Loofie was a prince who had been imprisoned as a genie in a bottle by a wizard. To be freed from this curse he has to do good deeds and accumulate sufficient good deeds to be released from the curse.

In this installment Charlie comes down with a cold and it affects Loogie as he comes down with a cold too. Being a genie he could not take cold medicine like Charlie did for his cold to get better. Charlie goes all out to try to make Loogie feel better. He even makes a wish for the wizard Hendrick , who put the prince under such a curse, to appear so that he could brew up a concoction to make Loogie feel better.

Unfortunately this leads to a series of misheard wishes on the part of Loogie resulting in many magical creatures being invited from the magical world over to their world creating a bit of chaos which Charlie struggled to fix.

My thoughts

My 9yr old and I read the book and both of us loved it. I found it very entertaining and I couldn’t put down the book till I finished reading the whole book. It is certainly a storybook which I would recommend for kids to read.
