About
Welcome to Carl and Teddy Books—a children’s book series that invites young readers on exciting adventures around the world.
​
Carl, a shy but brave cat, and his loyal teddy bear friend Teddy travel from country to country, discovering new places, cultures, and experiences along the way. Each book opens a window into a different part of the world, introducing children to local traditions, food, landmarks, and animals through fun and engaging stories.
​
But their journey is about more than travel. Through their adventures, Carl and Teddy learn—and teach—important life lessons about friendship, kindness, courage, empathy, and teamwork. The stories are designed to help children grow emotionally, build confidence, and learn how to navigate the world with curiosity and respect for others.
​
Teddy often explores with playful curiosity by hiding in scenes and discovering hidden details, while Carl leads the way into new adventures, sometimes uncertain but always brave. Together, they show that everyone can grow by trying new things and supporting one another.
​
At the heart of the series is a belief in the power of storytelling to inspire, educate, and connect. In a world that is beautifully diverse, these stories encourage children to appreciate differences, celebrate their own uniqueness, and see the world with open eyes and an open heart.

My name is Carl. I am an adventurous and curious little cat. I may start off a bit shy, but guess what? I'm actually super brave and show my courageous side when I face new challenges.
​
I love fresh milk, warm pets and an exciting adventure. You can easily spot me by my white paws and the tip of my tail – that's my signature look.
I really, really love learning about others and myself on exciting adventures and there couldn't be a better travel buddy for those adventures than Teddy. Teddy the teddy bear is my best friend, and we go on all our trips together. He adds an extra layer of comfort to our adventures.
I love being kind, I am never afraid of asking for help and I love all of my friends, the way they are. Come join us on our journeys, where we learn a ton of cool things together, and have fun exploring the different corners of the world.

I'm Teddy and I'm super excited to tell you all about myself! Carl and I have been best friends for as long as I can remember, and I'm Carl's loyal sidekick on all our adventures.
I'm a brown teddy bear with a cool white patch on my belly. I love making everyone laugh and smile playing hide and seek. That is my specialty. I bet I can find the best hiding spots! I have a soft spot for exploring the little details in every scene. It's the small things that make each place unique. On our travels, I provide comfort to Carl and my readers, making sure every story feels like a cozy adventure.
