About Us
NBK, Ltd., the parent company of The Literate Bear, was originally founded in 1996 as an upscale, custom gift basket business. Every gift basket designed was a one of a kind gift basket created with an exceptional attention to detail and the highest level of personalized customer service.
In 2005, NBK, Ltd. expanded to create The Literate Bear, a division of NBK, Ltd., with an emphasis on encouraging Children's Reading Literacy. R.B. The Reading Bear, and Tanya The Reading Dog, 2 very happy, warm, and friendly kid-safe animated characters, were designed exclusively for The Literate Bear to help encourage children to practice their reading skills and to help them feel comfortable about reading. Our Tanya character was inspired by a beautiful, happy and friendly Golden Retriever named Dichi Serious Frivolity (CGC, TDI), a certified therapy dog that absolutely adores children and thinks that reading is serious fun! Please be sure to visit our Reading Dog Programs page to learn more about how dogs are helping children learn to read.
In the summer of 2007, based on the requirements and needs of our customers, The Literate Bear decided to focus primarily on Upscale Baby Gifts. As always, we continue to provide exceptional attention to detail and the highest possible level of customer service. Many of our Gund® plush products are also suitable for toddlers, preschoolers, teenagers and even some grown ups who may be young at heart!
NBK, Ltd. is excited to announce the creation of our newest division, The Literate Dog, which will initially feature upscale gifts for pets, to be launched in late 2008. A few of The Literate Dog products will be available for preview and purchase in The Literate Bear Boutique early in 2008. For many of us our pets are family, and they deserve to be pampered too! |
