A thoughtful girl sat on her cozy bed, feeling very worried because her favorite friend was gone. Her fluffy teddy bear, Barnaby, was nowhere to be found, not even under the soft blankets. Suddenly, a shimmering beam of moonlight stretched across her bedroom floor like a silver ribbon. It pointed straight toward the old wooden door in the hallway. A thoughtful girl put on her fuzzy slippers and decided to follow the magical light to see where it would lead.
Professor Hoot Says:
"Moonlight is actually sunlight reflecting off the moon's surface like a giant mirror."

The moonlight led her to a hidden room she had never seen before: The Library of Lost Teddy Bears. Golden shelves reached all the way to the stars, filled with thousands of tiny books. Hundreds of soft, fuzzy bears were busy reading or sipping pretend tea from porcelain cups. A thoughtful girl gasped at the beautiful sight of all the velvet and fur. She walked slowly through the aisles, hoping to spot a familiar honey-colored face among the many toys.
Professor Hoot Says:
"The first teddy bear was created in 1902 and named after President Theodore Roosevelt."

A thoughtful girl soon met a very large bear named Mr. Higgins, who was the head librarian. Mr. Higgins wore shiny silver spectacles and a soft green velvet vest that looked very grand. 'Welcome to our quiet home for lost friends,' Mr. Higgins whispered in a deep, gentle voice. A thoughtful girl explained that Barnaby was lost and she missed him dearly. Mr. Higgins smiled and pointed his fuzzy paw toward the highest shelf in the room.
Professor Hoot Says:
"Grizzly bears are known for having a hump on their shoulders which is actually a bundle of muscles."

To reach the high shelf, A thoughtful girl had to pass a grumpy Clockwork Owl guarding the ladder. The owl would not let anyone through unless they showed a very kind heart. A thoughtful girl noticed the Clockwork Owl had a piece of blue yarn stuck in its brass wing and gently pulled it out. The Clockwork Owl let out a happy hoot and stepped aside so A thoughtful girl could climb up. High on the shelf, she finally saw Barnaby waiting for her.
Professor Hoot Says:
"Most owls have special feathers that allow them to fly almost silently through the night."

A thoughtful girl hugged Barnaby tight and promised to always keep him safe in her arms. Mr. Higgins waved his paw and gave them a special library card made of shimmering starlight. They stepped back through the secret door just as the moon began to fade behind the clouds. A thoughtful girl tucked Barnaby under her blankets and fell fast asleep, feeling very happy. She knew that even when things are lost, they can always be found with a little love.
Professor Hoot Says:
"A group of bears is called a 'sleuth' or a 'sloth'."
