Interpretation During Books Much Loved
Award-winning photographer Mark Nixon has created a trove of quirky and nostalgic portraits of teddy bears and other stuffed animals that have been lovingly abused after years of play. MuchLoved collects 60 of these images along with their accompanying background tales. An exhibit in the photographer’s studio led to a small sensation on the Internet when a few of the pictures circulated unofficially on scores of blogs and on many legitimate news sites. Viewers have been intrigued by the funny, bittersweet images and their ironic juxtaposition of childhood innocence and aged, loving wear and tear. When you see these teddy bears and bunnies with missing noses and undone stuffing, you can’t help but think back to childhood and its earliest companions who asked for nothing and gave a lot back.Praise for Much Loved:
“Much Loved is impossibly endearing in its entirety.” —Brain Pickings

I love this book! It is filled with the most amazing and beloved stuffed creatures that have provided comfort throughout childhood and beyond. The oldest is 104 years old and was past from one generation to another. My own bear is now 48 years old. I knitted 'Pinky' (finally named by one of my children) a pair of pink pants & a cardigan when I was in my twenties. She lives in a drawer most of the time and is rediscovered at intervals. I may have to buy this book as I enjoyed it so much :)I would definitely recommend this book; good photography and great stories.
if you've ever had a stuffed animal you couldn't live without, or even if you didn't this book is absolutely amazing. if you have an old friend and this book will make you want to seek them out just to see how their doing(unless they're sitting next to you). this book had pitures of a wide range of childrens and adults well loved stuffed animals as well as their heartwarming stories. there were a few animals that had been very loved. one that caught my eye was a giraffe, i believe jeffy, was
If you were to just flip through this book, only looking at the pictures, you'd probably end up a little creeped out. As a group, these stuffed toys are threadbare, missing limbs, missing eyes, stained, matted, and misshapen. If you stumbled into an old room in an old house and found these teddies staring you down, you'd start looking for a place to hide from the inevitable serial killer who collected them.But happily, they are not a group with one owner and you don't have to rely on the photos
i will never tire of books that show photos of much-loved stuffed animal companions. i have already read Chewed and Dirty Wow Wow and Other Love Stories: A Tribute to the Threadbare Companions of Childhood (and i still need to get my hands on Dirty Bow Wow). there is something so charming about these pictures, and reading the accompanying text about how long these faithful, damaged friends have been with their keepers is pretty heart-melting, even for me. i mean, don't get me wrong - some of
Find all of my reviews at: http://52bookminimum.blogspot.com/Thanks to Carmen this little book was brought to my attention. She didnt rate it so high because she is a horrible horrible person. BWAHAHAHAHA! Just kidding. It definitely takes a special kind of weirdo to want to immediately battle an ice storm and run to Barnes & Noble in order to obtain a copy of this overpriced little gem . . . And that special little weirdo just happens to be named Kelly : )What better accompaniment to my
Hard book to read as some of these toys, who are best friends, are seriously loved so much that there isn't much left. What I wouldn't give to find Jocko the Clown, who was with me through many a thumb sucking night and was even professionally photographed (with me and my thumb). At least I have Bear and might offer to let Nixon photo him. For those of you from NIU's North Neptune, he was the guy who was hung in effigy from the clock in the hall and lived to tell the story...and he never held a
