Prince Edward Island Teddy-Made for Bears

The Traveling Teddy has been on a fabulous cruise through New England and Canada aboard the ms Maasdam–boy, some wild adventures! On Prince Edward Island, he met Steve Parsons, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, just as he left the ship in Charlottetown. Traveling Teddy globetrots

for the third-grade class of Meredith Schroeder at St. Joseph Consolidated School in Hamilton, Ohio. The students will name the Teddy when classes resume in fall. Traveling Teddy is a geography outreach program of the Society of American Travel Writers.

With his new pal Grant MacRae of Prince Edward Island, Ted visited the Anne of Green Gables house and discovered a buggy-full of children, 

then went to the PEI Preserve Company and

tasted some fabulous jams–yum! Percy

Gougan helped Ted with his choices.

Outside, Ted tried his

paws at the bagpipes and

then got to eat lunch at Carr’s Oyster Bar. But not

before nearly losing his life in a lobster trap.

HELP!!
