Now Michelle really loves her Robert Raikes bears. She ordered the two brother bears directly from Raikes, got the panda bear & the bear with the silver face off eBay, and found the large bear at an antique store here in town. Robert Raikes bears are five way jointed and have carved wooden faces and paw pads.
These two "brother" bears came as a set with this book that was written by Carol Raikes, Robert Raikes' wife, and illustrated by J.W. Raikes his son. It is about two boys that they adopted from Russia.
I like the Raikes bears. They all have friendly expressions and nice fur. Apparently Mr. Raikes is mostly retired now. He also did a line of Hitty dolls...some of which Michelle also has, but that's another blog for another time.
