Build-a-Bears as Collectables? This is necessity!
A necessity for anyone who loves one of the 30 million "best friends made". The first-ever compilation of the Build-A-Bear Workshop line covers all critters from the first bears made in October 1997 through June 2005. Includes Photos, vital stats and fun facts about each bear. Includes limited edition animals, cause-related bears and more!

I love having my copy at hand when I find a new friend at a yard sale. It's SUCH a help to identify plush animals. Plus the photos are awesome for a collector's guide. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Great for collectors but not quite complete
My kids are big Build-A-Bear Workshop fans and we head in to the store at least once a month or sometimes even more, depending on what's being released, since they usually release 2 animals or more a month.

Having been going there since my oldest was a toddler there were quite a few animals that I needed identifying because their tags were of course gone. This has helped greatly. It's not current, as you won't find the newer animals in there and it's not an entire list of even all the old ones that have been released but it's a great guide for those who want to identify a lot of the older ones with the older tush tags.

Collectors guide
This is a great book for Build a Bear Collectors. My seven year old daughter and her friends all collect bears. We are able to identify bears we find in the secondary market using this book. I wish there was a current edition, as this one is dated 2004. We like to take the book with us when shopping, and the girls sit and flip through it constantly. (I confess, I look at it a lot too!) We are waiting for the next edition... A must have for any serious Build-a-Bear collector
