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.~

Love of my life wasnt to impressed,instead was enjoying a cuddle with mr h...
