Boo-Bear's New Pockets



My sister and I have a Boo-Bear.

We cry on her when we are sad.

We hug her when we're excited,

And talk to her when we are mad.

Boo-Bear's New Pockets




Bear listens to all of our problems,

She's troubled if we are not well.

Today she has her own problem,

Let's listen: it's her turn to tell:








Boo says that her dress is all dirty.

She says it is torn and it's old.

She wants a new dress with bright colors

With pockets for things she can hold.





We asked mom to find us material

To make for Boo-Bear a new dress.

Mom let us both look in her scrap box,

"This curtain will do I should guess."

Boo-Bear's New Pockets




Mom helped us to cut out a pattern.

We then sewed three pockets on fast.

We put in a bow and some pennies,

Some rocks, and Boo whispered, "At last!





I now can put tears in my pockets,

Your tears, when I cuddle you two,

So then you'll become quite excited

Instead of all weepy and blue."





Now Boo-Bear is proud of her pockets,

They're full of our tears. And that's why

We hope that you have your own Teddy

To cuddle you close when you cry.
