hi I'm Dora Russell I work in the city
manager's office and today we're going
to read baby bears big dreams when I
grow up in about a year my special
friends will move in here we'll play all
day and stay up late and never go to bed
by 8:00 the toys will not be put away
but left around for play next day in
fact play never will be through so
that's what big bears always do when I
grew up in a year or two I know just
what I'm going to do I'll live in a shop
that's filled with toys a few for girls
and lots for boys hmm with carousels for
taking rides and puffer trains and giant
slides I'll pay pictures red and blue
for that's what big bears always do when
I grow up in a year or three I'll build
a house in honey tree and when it's time
for me to eat I'll pick some berries at
my feet
my friends will come around for tea and
honey cakes up in my tree
they'll stay and play a week or two so
grew up in a year or four I'll get it in
to go explore
I'll wear brown boots and a feathered
hat and bring along a sleeping mat I'll
climb high up a big fir tree paw-to-paw
most carefully
I'll look around admire the view but
grew up in a year or five I'll take some
honey from a hive and tie it with a
bright red bow and visit other bears I
know
then by ourselves we'll play some cards
and after race around their yards in
games of tag and people peekaboo but
that's what big bears always do when I'm
all grown I'll come back home and read
aloud microing poem Mama and Papa will
say well done and give their hugs to
their grown-up son then tuck me in my
special bed with giant pillows from my
head and give me kisses one and two so
that's what big bears always do
