￭Don't wake the Baby!

we have a new baby in our house. His hands are tiny. His feet are tiny. He is so cute. I want to kiss the baby on his nose. No, says Mom. Don't wake the baby. A car goes by. Beep, beep. The baby does not wake up. The telephone rings. The baby does not wake up. A hammer bangs. Bang, bang. The baby does not wake up. A dog barks. The baby does not want the bottle. Dad brings the baby a bunny. The baby does not want the bunny. I sit in a chair. I hold the baby. The baby says, Goo, goo, goo. The baby wants me. So I kiss the baby on his nose. Soon the baby shuts his eyes. Sh. Don't wake the baby.

￭Danny and the Dinosaur

one day Danny went to the museum. He wanted to see what was inside. He saw Indians, he saw bears, he saw Eskimos, he saw guns, he saw swords, and he saw dinosaurs. Danny loved dinosaurs. He wished he had one. I'm sorry they are not real, said Danny. It would be nice to play with the dinosaur. And I think it would be nice to play with you, said a voice. Can you? Said Danny. Yes, said the dinosaur. Oh, good, said Danny. What can we do? I can take you for a ride, said the dinosaur. He put his head down so Danny could get on him. Let's go, said Danny. A policeman stared at them. He had never seen a dinosaur stop for a red light. The dinosaur was so tall, Danny had to hold up the ropes for him. Look out. Said Danny. Bow wow, said a dog. He thinks you are a car, said Danny. Go away, dog. We are not a car. I can make a noise like a car, said the dinosaur. Honk, honk, honk. What big rocks, said the dinosaur. They are not rocks, said Danny. They are buildings. I love to climb, said the dinosaur. Down, boy, said Danny. The dinosaur had to be very careful not to knock over houses or stores with his long tail. Some people were waiting for a bus. They rode on the dinosaur's tail instead. All who want to cross the street may walk on my back, said the dinosaur. It's very nice of you to help me with my bundles, said a lady. Danny and the dinosaur went all over town and had lots of fun. It's good to take an hour or two off after a hundred million years, said the dinosaur. They even looked at the ball game. Hit the ball, said Danny. Hit a home run, said the dinosaur. I wish we had a boat, said Danny. Who needs a boat? I can swim, said the dinosaur. Went. The boats went Danny and the dinosaur. Oh, what lovely green grass, said the dinosaur. I haven't eaten any of that for a very long time. Wait, said Danny. See what it says. They both had ice cream instead. Let's go to the zoo and see the animals, said Danny. Everybody came running to see the dinosaur. Nobody stayed to see the lions. Nobody stayed to see the elephants. Nobody stayed to see the monkeys, and nobody stayed to see the seals, giraffes, or hippos either. Please go away so the animals will get looked at, said the zooman. Let's find my friends, said Danny. Very well, said the dinosaur. There they are, said Danny. Why, it's Danny riding on a dinosaur, said a child. Maybe he'll give us a ride. May we have a ride? Asked the children. I'd be delighted, said the dinosaur. Hold on tight, said Danny. Around and around the block ran the dinosaur, faster and faster and faster. This is better than a merry go round, the children said. The dinosaur was out of breath. Teach him tricks, said the children. Danny taught the dinosaur how to shake hands. Can you roll over on your back? Asked the children. That's easy, said the dinosaur. He's smart, said Danny, patting the dinosaur. Let's play hide and seek, said the children. How do you play it? Said the dinosaur. We hide and you try to find us, said Danny. The dinosaur covered his eyes. All the children ran to hide. The dinosaur looked and looked, but he couldn't find the children. I give up, he said. Now it was the dinosaur's turn to hide. The children covered their eyes. The dinosaur hid behind a house. The children found him. He hid behind a sign. The children found him. He hid behind a big gas tank. The children found him. They found him again and again and again. I guess there's no place for me to hide, said the dinosaur. Let's make believe we can't find him, Danny said. Where can he be? Where, oh, where is that dinosaur? Where did he go? We give up, said the children. Here I am, said the dinosaur. The dinosaur wins. Said the children. We couldn't find him. He fooled us. Hooray for the dinosaur. The children cried. Hooray. Hooray. It got late, and the other children left. Danny and the dinosaur were alone. Well, goodbye, Danny, said the dinosaur. Can't you come and stay with me? Said Danny. We could have fun. No, said the dinosaur. I've had a good time. The best I've had in a hundred million years. But now I must get back to the museum. They need me there. Oh, said Danny. Well, goodbye. Danny watched until the long tail was out of sight. Then he went home alone. Oh, well, thought Danny, we don't have room for a pet that size anyway. But we did have a wonderful day. The end.

￭Happy Birthday, Danny and the Dinosaur

Danny was in a hurry. He had to see his friend the dinosaur. I'm six years old today, said Danny. Will you come to my birthday party? I would be delighted, said the dinosaur. Danny rode the dinosaur out of the museum. On the way, they picked up Danny's friends. Today I'm a hundred million years and one day old, said the dinosaur. Then it could be your party, too, said Danny. The children helped Danny's father hang up balloons. See if I can help, too, said the dinosaur. Danny's mother gave out party hats. How do I look? Asked the dinosaur. We would like to sing a song, said a girl and a boy. They sang, and everybody clapped their hands. I can sing, too, said the dinosaur. He sang, and everybody covered their ears. Let's play pin the tail on the donkey, said Danny. And the dinosaur pinned the tail on himself. The children sat down to rest. Please don't put your feet on the furniture, said Danny. The dinosaur put his feet out the window. Danny's mother and father gave each child a dish of ice cream. They had to give the dinosaur more. Here comes the birthday cake, said the children. They counted the candles. 123456. The dinosaurs started to eat the cake. Wait, said Danny. First we have to make a wish. I wish we could all be together again next year, said Danny. I wish the same thing, said the dinosaur. They blew out the candles. Happy birthday to you. Everybody sang. This is the best birthday party I have ever had, said Danny. Me too, said the dinosaur. The end.

￭Stanley

A long time ago, there were no houses and people lived in caves. Stanley lived in a cave, but he did not like it. The cave was cold, so Stanley was cold. His head hurt because he had to sleep with it on a rock. Bats flew around as though they owned the place. Why can't we find a better way to live? Asked Stanley. This is good enough for us, said the other cavemen. Why isn't it good enough for you? The cavemen carried clubs. They were very tough. Stanley was tough, too, but he liked to plant seeds in the ground and watch them grow. He liked to paint pictures. He liked to be nice to people. He was kind to animals. The other cavemen did not want Stanley to act this way. Can't you act more like a caveman? They asked. Stanley did not answer. He went on planting seeds and painting pictures. He went on being kind to animals and nice to people. He even started saying things like please and thank you and. Lovely day today, isn't it? This made the other cavemen very angry. You can't live here, they said. Beat it. They threw rocks at Stanley and chased him away. We're sorry you lost your caves, said the animals. I don't care, said Stanley. It was cold anyway. He looked for a place to live. You can't live in a nest, said the birds. You can't live in the water, said the fish. You can't live in the ground, said the worm. Maybe I can live in a tree, said Stanley. Not while I'm up here, said an ape. Maybe I can live in space, said Stanley. He jumped off a rock. Ouch, said Stanley. I can't live in space. Stanley saw a field. Does anybody mind if I live here? He asked. I don't mind if you don't snore, said an animal who was going to sleep. I don't mind if you don't eat too much grass, said an animal who was eating. I don't mind if you don't take up too much room, said a very, very big animal. Stanley made himself at home. This is not bad, he said. But suddenly the wind blew and Stanley was cold. Then the rain fell and he was wet. This is worse than a cave, said Stanley. He made walls to keep out the wind. He made a roof to keep out the rain. He made a door, windows and chimney. He made a house. That's the first house I ever saw, said a field mouse. It's the first one I ever made, said Stanley. Won't you stay here and live with me? I can't. I belong in a field. But I will come and visit you from time to time, said the field mouse. Stanley painted pictures. He planted seeds in the ground and watched them grow. He loved his house, but he was lonesome. I wonder how my friends are, he said. The Cape men were out hunting for animals. They carried their clubs. Look who's after us with their silly clubs, said the animals. Let's chase them out of here. They chased the cavemen. Stanley saw the cavemen running. Don't be afraid, he said. I won't let them hurt you. He made the animals go away. You saved us, Stanley, said the caveman. Thank you. Come back and live in our cave, said one caveman. Caves are old fashioned, said Stanley. Come and see where I live. He showed them his house. A cave is for bears. A house is for people, said Stanley. You're right, Stanley, said the caveman. This is the way we want to live. They all made houses. Stanley showed them how to paint pictures and plant seed. He showed them how to be nice to each other and kind to animals, and everybody was happy.

I wish I had a bike, the clown says. My birthday is coming. I hope I get a bike soon. It is his birthday. Yes. The clown gets a new bike from the train. The clown jumps on the bike, but off he falls.

￭Happy Birthday Moon

One night, Bear looked up at the sky and thought, wouldn't it be nice to give the moon a birthday present? But Bear didn't know when the moon's birthday was or what to get him. So he climbed a tall tree to have a little chat with the moon. Hello, moon. He shouted. But the moon did not reply. Maybe I am too far away, thought Bear, and the moon cannot hear me. So Bear paddled across the river and hiked through the forest and into the mountains. Now I am much closer to the moon, thought Bear. And again he shouted, hello. This time, his own voice echoed off one of the other mountains. Hello. Bear got very excited. Oh, boy, he thought. I'm talking to the moon. Tell me, asked Bear. When is your birthday? Tell me, when is your birthday? Replied the moon. Well, it just so happens that my birthday is tomorrow, said Bear. Well, it just so happens that my birthday is tomorrow, said the moon. What do you want for your birthday? Asked Bear. What do you want for your birthday? Asked the moon. Bear thought for a moment. Then he replied, I would like a hat. I would like a hat, said the moon. Oh, Goody, thought Bear. Now I know what to get the moon for his birthday. Goodbye, said Bear. Goodbye, said the moon. When Bear got home, he dumped all the money out of his piggy bank. Then he went downtown and bought the moon a beautiful hat. That night, he put the hat up in a tree where the moon could find it. Then he waited and watched while the moon slowly crept up through the branches and tried on the hat. Hooray. Yelled Bear. It fits just right. During the night, while Bear slept, the hat fell out of the tree. In the morning, Bear found the hat on his doorstep. So the moon got me a hat, too. Exclaimed Bear. He tried it on and it fit perfectly. But just then the wind blew Bear's hat off his head. He chased after it, but it got away. That night, Bear paddled across the river and hiked through the forest to talk with the moon. For a long time, the moon would not speak to him, so Bear spoke first. Hello. He shouted. Hello. Replied the moon. I lost the beautiful hat you gave me, said Bear. I lost the beautiful hat you gave me, said the moon. That's okay, I still love you, said Bear.

￭The Best Nest

Mr. Bird was happy. He was so happy he had to sing. This was Mr. Bird's song. I love my house. I love my nest. In all the world, my nest is best. Then Mrs. Bird came out of the house. It's not the best nest, she said. I'm tired of this old place, said Mrs. Bird. I hate it. Let's look for a new place right now. So they left the old place to look for a new one. This place looks nice, said Mr. Bird. Let's move in here. But somebody else had already moved in, so they looked at another house. This one looks nice, said Mr. Bird. And there's nobody in it. You're wrong, said Mrs. Bird. This house belongs to a foot. So they went on looking. I like this one, said Mr. Bird. It has a pretty red flag on the roof. I've always wanted a house with the flag, said Mrs. Bird. Maybe this place will be all right. But it was not all right. I guess I made a mistake, said Mr. Bird. You make too many mistakes, said Mrs. Bird. I'm going to pick the next house. And here it is, right here. They flew in. They looked around. Isn't it too big? Asked Mr. Bird. I like this big place, said Mrs. Bird. This is the place to build our new nest. They went right to work. They needed many things to build their nest. First, they got some hay. They got some soda straws and broom straws. They got some sweater string. They got some stocking string and mattress stuffing. They got some horse hair. They got some man hair. Soon they had all the hay, all the straw, all the string, all the stuffing, all the horse hair, all the man hair they could carry. They took it all back to build their nest. Mr. And Mrs. Bird worked very hard. It took them the rest of the morning to finish their nest. This nest is really the best, said Mrs. Bird. I want to stay here forever. Mr. Bird was very happy, too. He flew to the top of his house. He sang his song again. I love our house. I love our nest. In all the world, our nest is best. He was so busy singing, he didn't even see Mr. Parker coming. Every day at 12:00 Mr. Parker came to the church. MR. Parker came to pull a rope. The rope went up to the bird's new nest. The rope rang the big bell, right under Mrs. Bird's nest. Bong, bong, bong. Mrs. Bird got out of there as fast as she could fly. Bong, bong, bong, bong, bong, bong, bong. When Mr. Bird came in, all he could see was a mess of hay and string and stuffing and horse hair and man hair and straws. Where was Mrs. Bird? I will go look for her until I find her, said Mr. Bird. He looked high, he looked low. He looked everywhere for Mrs. Bird. He looked down into a chimney, but Mrs. Bird wasn't there. He looked down into a water barrel, but Mrs. Bird wasn't there. Then he saw a big, fat cat. There was a big fat smile on the fat cat's face. There were some pretty brown feathers near the fat cat's mouth. Mr. Bird began to cry. Oh, dear. He cried. This big fat cat has eaten Mrs. Bird. Mr. Bird flew off. I'll never see Mrs. Bird again. He cried. It was getting dark. It began to rain. It rained harder and harder. Mr. Bird could not see where he was going. Crash. Mr. Bird bumped into something. It was his old house. That old, old house that Mrs. Bird hated. I'll go inside, said Mr. Bird. I'll rest here until the rain stops. Mr. Bird went in. And there was Mrs. Bird, sitting there, singing. I love my house. I love my nest. In all the world, this nest is best you here, gasped Mr. Bird. I thought you hated this old nest. Mrs. Bird smiled. I used to hate it, she said. But a mother Bird can change her mind. You see, there's no nest like an old nest for a brand new bird. And when the egg popped open, the new bird thought so too.

￭Thank You, Bear

early one morning a little bear found a little box. He looked inside and said, why, it's the greatest thing ever. Mouse will love this. On his way to find Mouse, he showed it to the monkey. Monkey said, that's not so great. He showed it to the owl. Owl said, I've seen those before. He showed it to the fox. Fox said, you're holding it the wrong way. He showed it to the elephant. Elephant said, I think it's too small. He showed it to the squirrel. Squirrel said, it would be much better if you gave it to me. He tried to show it to the bunny but Bunny said, I don't have time to look right now. The little bear stopped. He wondered whether it was so great after all. While he was wondering, Mouse came along and asked Bear what he had. He put the box on the ground and showed it to Mouse. Mouse looked at it this way and that. Then Mouse crawled inside the empty box and said, it's the greatest thing ever, ever. Thank you, Bear.

￭Caps for sale

once there was a peddler who sold caps. But he was was not like an ordinary peddler. Carrying his wares on his back, he carried them on top of his head. First he had on his own checked cap, then a bunch of gray caps, then a bunch of brown caps, then a bunch of blue caps, and on the very top a bunch of red caps. He walked up and down the streets holding himself very straight. This was not to upset his caps. As he went along, he called caps. Caps for sale. Fifty cents a cap. One morning he couldn't sell any caps. He walked up the street and he walked down the street calling caps. Caps for sale. Fifty cents a cap. But nobody wanted any caps that morning. Nobody wanted even a red cap. He began to feel very hungry. But he had no money for lunch. I think I'll go for a walk in the country, said he. And he walked out of town slowly, slowly, so as not to upset his caps. He walked for a long time until he came to a great big tree. That's a nice place for a rest, thought he. And he sat down very slowly under the tree and leaned back little by little against a tree trunk so as not to disturb the caps on his head. Then he put up his hand to feel if they were straight, first his own checked cap, then the gray caps, then the brown caps, then the blue caps, then the red caps on the very top. They were all there. So he went to sleep. He slept for a long time. When he woke up, he was refreshed and rested. But before standing up, he felt with his hand to make sure his caps were in the right place. All he felt was his own checked cap. He looked to the right of him. No caps. He looked to the left of him. No caps. He looked in back of him. No caps. He looked behind the tree. No caps. Then he looked up into the tree and what do you think he saw? On every branch sat a monkey. On every monkey was a gray or a brown or a blue or a red cap. The peddler looked at the monkeys. The monkeys looked at the pEddler. He didn't know what to do. Finally he spoke to them. You monkeys, you, he said, shaking a finger at them. You give me back my caps. But the monkeys only shook their fingers back at him and said it. This made the peddler angry. So he shook both hands at them and said, you monkeys, you. You give me back my caps. But the monkeys only shook both their hands back at him and said, now he felt quite angry. He stamped his foot and he said, you monkeys, you. You better give me back my caps. But the monkeys only stamped their feet back at him and said. By this time, the peddler was really very, very angry. He stamped both his feet and shouted, you monkeys. You. You must give me back my caps. But the monkeys only stamped both their feet back at him and said, at last, he became so angry that he pulled off his own cap, threw it on the ground and began to walk away. But then each monkey pulled off his cap. And all the gray caps and all the brown caps and all the blue caps and all the red caps came flying down out of the tree. So the peddler picked up his caps and put them back on his head. First his own checked cap, then the gray caps, then the brown caps, then the blue caps, then the red caps on the very top. And slowly, slowly he walks back to town, calling caps. Caps for sale. Fifty cents a cap.

You're the first dinosaur we ever had here, Lana, the leader, said. Let's start with a race. On your mark, get set, go. The dinosaur took a step. You win. Shouted Danny. The children played football. The dinosaur ran with the ball, and nobody could stop him. Touchdown. Shouted Danny. Lana took everybody to the lake. Here is where we row our boats, she said. The children rowed little boats.

￭Chester

Chester was a wild horse. He lived out west with other wild horses. I wish someone loved me, said Chester. I wish someone took care of me. You are silly, said the other horses. It's fun to wild. One day men came with ropes. They were looking for wild horses. I am glad to see you, said Chester. Please put a rope on me. That horse cannot run, said the man. We do not want him. They took all the other horses. They did not take Chester. No one wants me either, said a skunk. I think I know why, said Chester. He laughed in a hurry. Chester ran and ran. He came to a farm. Maybe someone here wants me, he said. You can't give milk, said a cow. You can't lay eggs, said a hen. And I pulled a wagon around here, said a white horse. Goodbye, said Chester. He walked down the road. A car came by. This car has 250 hp, said the man in the car. I have 1 hp, said Chester. The car stopped at a gas station. Chester stopped too. I'll have ten gallons of gas, said the man. I'll have ten gallons of water, said Chester. Chester saw a sign. I'm hungry, he said. Oh dear. I did not see the first letter. I cannot eat coats, said Chester. Chester saw a fruit store. I'll have a pound of apples, said a lady. I'll have a pound too, said Chester. Can you pay for them? Said the man. No, said Chester. Then come back when you can pay, said the man. All right, said Chester. Your apples are good. Chester looked in a house. A lady was having tea. How much sugar do you want? She said. As much as I can have, said Chester. Chester went by a toy store. I wish I had a rocking horse, said a child. I can be a rocking horse, said Chester. Look, you are too big for our house, said the mother. Chester saw a statue of a horse. Maybe I can be a statue, he said. He stood very still. All the people thought he was a statue. All the birds thought he was a statue. Chester saw a lady with a feather in her hat. I'll sneeze if that feather touches my nose, said Chester. The feather touches his nose. Ah, true. Statues don't sneeze, said the birds and the people. Horses do, said Chester. He walked away. Chester walked by a firehouse long ago. Horses pulled the fire engines, said a man. The bell rang. There was a firesome place. Down the poles came the firemen. They could not start the engine. What will we do? Said the fireman. I'll get you there in time, said Chester. Down the street they want. They went clang clang, clang, said Chester. He got them there in time. Thank you, said the fireman. The engine is running again. We do not need you now. Chester walked and walked. He saw Merry go round. I think they need me here, he said. The children ran to the horses. One little boy got on Chester. Around and round they went. The children loved the ride. So did Chester. The ride ended. The children got off the horses. My horse was real, said the little boy. He was not real, said the children. Merry go round. Horses are never real. A real horse runs when you say giddy up, said one child. Let's say it, said another child. They all said it together. Giddy up. Chester ran. He ran and ran and ran. The man with ropes saw him. Whoa, they said. Do you still want to come with us? Said the man. Yes, said Chester. They took him to a bright, clean stable. All the other horses were there. You are right, Chester, said the horses. It is fun here. It is nice to be loved and cared for. That makes sense, said Chester. Good horse sense.

￭Grizzwold

In the far north lived a bear named Griswold. Griswold was so big, three rabbits could sit in his footprint. When he went fishing, the river only came to his knees. Other bears had no trouble going into caves to sleep. Griswold always got stuck. He had to sleep out in the open. But he didn't mind. He had a nice coat of fur to keep him warm. No other animal dared wake him. One morning there was a loud noise in the forest. All the other bears ran away. Griswold went to see what it was. He saw men chopping down trees. Timber. They shouted. What's the big idea? Asked Griswold. What are you doing to my forest? We're sorry, said the men. We have to send these logs down the river to a mill. They will be made into paper. I can't live in a forest with no trees, said Griswold. He went to look for a new place to live. Do you know where there is a nice forest? He asked. You won't find one up here, said a mountain goat. Do you know where there's a nice forest? He asked. You won't find one here, said a prairie wolf. Do you know where there's a nice forest? He asked. Boy, are you lost, said a desert lizard.

The people stepped all over him. Uh oh. I don't like this, said Griswold. He left the house. Griswold saw a light pole. I'll climb that tree, he said. I was here first, said a cat. He chased Griswold away. Griswold saw a dog. Can't you read? Asked the dog. He chased Griswold away. Griswold saw people going to a dance. The people wore masks. Griswold went to the dance too. You look just like a real bear, said the people. Thank you, said Griswold. The people started to dance. Griswold started to dance too. It's time to take off our masks, said somebody. All the people took off their masks. You take off yours too, they said to Griswold. I can't, he said. This is my real face. You don't belong here, said the people. You belong in the zoo. Griswold went to the zoo. The bears were begging for peanuts. Griswold begged too. Please don't stay, said the bears. We need all the peanuts we get. Try the circus. Griswold went to the circus. They put skates on him. He went flop. They put him on a bicycle. He went crash. They tried to make him stand on his head. He couldn't do that either. I guess it takes practice, said Griswold. It sure does, said the trained bears. Griswold tried to rest. Hey, you can't park here, said a policeman. I'll find a place to park, said Griswold. He ran until he came to a nice forest. I'm very glad to be here, he said. We're very glad you're here too, said some hunters. They took aim. Don't shoot, said a ranger. This is a national park. No hunting allowed. The hunters left. Thank you, said Griswold. You will be safe here, said the ranger. People cannot shoot animals here. They can only shoot pictures. All the people wanted to take Griswold's picture. He was the biggest bear they had ever seen. Thanks for posing for us, they said. This is the life for me, said Griswold. He was very happy.
