Teddy Bear plays with no knees?

So, being inspired by seeing a funny photo on Making a Person..(thanks so much for that laugh about your puzzle!!) I had to share these photos of a book we own. God..I took these a looooooong time ago (last summer yikes) and wanted to post something a while back but just never did.

All I can say is.. poor Teddy Bear. He has some sort of knee issue..poor guy.
