Merkel's Shoes Adds to Bear Fever Collection

by Jane Stahl

I'm calling him "Boots." Jeff Graber re-created some really cool boots on the Merkel Shoes Bear Fever bear. 

"Boots" announces that he was created "in loving memory of Nanny and Pappy," founders of Merkel's Shoes in 1956. 

Bear Fever fans will find him easily as he helps to announce the way to Merkel's Shoes.
