Grandpa Bear's Lullaby

The night is long
But fur is deep.
You will be warm
In winter sleep.

The food is gone
But dreams are sweet
And they will be
Your winter meat.

The cave is dark
But dreams are bright
And they will serve
As winter light.
Sleep, my little cubs, sleep.

A Chubby Little Snowman

A chubby little snowman
Had a carrot nose.
Along came a bunny,
And what do you suppose?
That hungry little bunny,
Looking for his lunch,
Ate that little snowman's nose
Nibble, nibble, crunch!

Books

Books to the ceiling,
books to the sky.
My piles of books
are a mile high.
How I love them!
How I need them!
I'll have a long beard
by the time that
I read them.
by Arnold Lobel
