Teddy Bear Picnic Day plays on a theme in a song by John Walter Bratton, "The Teddy Bear's Picnic," an instrumental. Due to its popularity, in 1932, James Kennedy added lyrics, making it a children's classic.
The late US President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt also contributed to the popularity of the teddy bear itself. Hunting in Mississippi in 1902, Roosevelt caught a small bear but refused to shoot it. The Washington Post knew of the story and created an editorial cartoon. Toy store owner Morris Michtom and his wife made a stuffed bear like the cub saved in the comic. Michtom contacted the President to enquire if they could call their stuffed toy bear by his nickname, "Teddy." The rest is history.
