Teddy books that teach kids about money, work and kindness

Each of the ten Teddy picture books by Ryan Cohen centers on one everyday topic: saving, work, community helpers, other places, words and feelings, wants versus needs, earning, friendship, caring for a puppy, and chores before play. The stories follow Grandpa Teddy and his grandsons, Princeton and Kingston.

We suggest them for reading aloud with children about 3 to 8. An adult reads while the child follows the pictures and talks about the story. They are not leveled early readers. See our picks by age.

Most families start with a five-book set. Volume 1 is the natural first pick, with stories about saving, work and community helpers. Choose Volume 2 if wants and needs, earning or friendship matter most right now, or give all ten. Our gift finder matches a set or a single book to an age, an occasion or a topic. Find a Teddy book.
