Let us tell you a story...

The inside sleeve decorated in playfull bears...

INTRODUCTION.
Three chubby baby-bears,
white,and black and brown,
Fluffy,Nig and Dingy,

How they came to town.

Where Fluffy found her bread and milk;

Why Nig liked honey best;

Where Dingy found the berries;

And-the story tells the rest!

This is on the inside sleeve,a greeting from a grandma to her little grandson on his first birthday,which we think is august 10th 1910.

Lovely illustrations..

Why they left the town....

Jolly little baby-bears woke at break of day,and found their breakfast ready,but puck had gone away.

Merry little baby-bears,thankful as could be,wrote to puck a letter,and pinned it on a tree.

Wondering little baby-bears strolling into town,first were glad then sorry,to meet the circus clown.

''watch out'',cried the friendly clown,''the circus comes to-day,and heres a notice saying:-''three cubs have ran away.''

Frightened little baby-bears asked the nearest way to leave the town behind them-then the band began to play!

How those frightened baby-bears,white and black and brown,fluffy,nig and dingy,hustled out of town.

Racing,puffing baby-bears nearly dead from fright,tried hiding in a city,and all got lost that night.

Lost and lonesome baby-bears,did they meet again? May be not-may be their story'll tell us when.~
