Books the Bear Purple

Books the Bear carries a purple backpack, with its embroidered lettering stitched in the same purple rather than a contrasting color. Ty released this back-to-school bear in blue, purple and red backpacks together, all under style 40266, with nothing but the backpack and its lettering setting one apart from the next.

The line had a short shelf life, on sale for less than two months before it retired, typical of the era's back-to-school exclusives.
