Surprise! A teddy bear waited at a bus stop. A few sat in a park. People spied big teddy bears all over.

Mr. L. owns a bookshop in Paris, France. He set out teddy bears during the pandemic.

Read More: Philippe Labourel wanted to “give children a little bit of joy” during the time everyone was wearing masks and staying far apart. He made grownups happy too. His teddy bears sit in cafés, a drugstore, a hotel, and the street. Mr. L. does not say how many bears he has in his bookshop’s “bear cave.” But the giant stuffed toys have been a huge success. “Clap your hands, all peoples! Shout to God with loud sounds of joy!” Read Psalm 47:1.
