Teddy's Letter

Dear Boys and Girls.—

In the short time I have been among you, I have made friends of some of the best little boys

and girls throughout the land.

I have been writing to my brothers and sisters at home telling them all about you, and they

are very anxious to become acquainted also; so I sent for our family photograph album, which
contains most of their pictures.

Now Old Mother Goose is a neighbor of ours, and she earns her living by writing little

rhymes, tales and jingles, and as she is a very good friend of our family, she has written many
verses and rhymes about us, which I know you will enjoy reading.

So you see I take great pride in presenting you this copy of our Family Photograph Album.

Your sincere friend,

Teddy.

Hello!

poem and girl and boy teddy

What are little Ted boys made of, made of?
What are little Ted boys made of?
Snaps and snails, and puppy-dogs’ tails;
And that’s what Little Ted Boys are made of, made of.

What are little Ted girls made of, made of?
What are little Ted girls made of?
Sugar and spice, and all that’s nice;
And that’s what Little Ted girls are made of, made of.

Who put him in?

Who pulled him out?

What a naughty boy was there
Thus to drown poor Teddy Bear.

Little Ted Horner
Sat in a corner,

Eating a Christmas Pie.

He put in his thumb,

And took out a plum,

And said, “What a big bear am I!”

As I went to Bonner,

I met a bear

With coal-black hair,

Upon my word and honor.

Old Mother Hubbard

Went to the cupboard

To get Little Teddy a bun;

But when she got there,
The cupboard was bare,

So poor Little Ted had none.

To buy him some bread;
