Bear and Roly-Poly  
One day, Nora said to Bear, “I'm going over to Grandma's house. She is giving us a present.” 
“Goody, goody, goody,” said Bear “What is it?” 
“A new baby sister,” said Nora. 
“A baby sister!” Bear cried. 
“Yes,” said Nora. 
She gave Bear a big fat hug and an extra swueeze. 
Bear was very happy to have a baby sister. All afternoon, Bear practiced being a big brother.

Finally Nora came home. she carried the new baby right into Bear's room. Bear stared. Nobody said anything for a minute. 
Than Nora said, “ Bear this is Panda, your baby sister. She comes from China. ” 
“She si not a baby,” cried Bear. “She's almost as big as you. And she's not brown like me.” 
“Babies come in all colors and sizes, she can climb trees and eats bamboo when she growns up.” said Nora. 
Panda opened her eyes and looked at Bear. “Hello,” said Bear. “I'm your big brother.” Panda opened her mouth and began to cry. Nora lifred he baby off Bear's lap and rocked her.

“She doesn't like me,” Bear said. 
“She's going to love you,” said Nora. 
“Everything is new and strange to her right now.” 
So Bear helped make Pandy's bed. Then he poured milk into her bottle, and heated it up. He put the bottle in the baby's mouth. Panda sucked and sucked.

A few days later, Nora had to go out. As soo as Nora left, Panda started to cry. Bear tried to feed her, but she wasn't hungry. Bear tried to burp her, but she didn't need to be burped. Panda just went right on crying. 
“Maybe she likes listenning songs. I could sing to her.” So bear opened his mouth and sang a song about three bears in the bathtub. He sang very loud. Panda stopped crying for a moment. “I think it's working, ”Bear whispered. So Bear sang his song again. Panda smiled a big smile, and she began to swuirm.

Bear tickled Panda on the tummy, and his baby sister laughted. Bear told panda a story, and she listened. Than he gave her a bath. After the bath, he wanted to tuck her into bed and sing her to sleep. Suddenly, Nora came into the room. “How did you get her to sleep?” Nora whispered. “I sang to her. And she liked it.” Bear said. “Panda's lucky to have an older brother like you,” said Nora. 
Then Bear pushed his bed next to Panda's, so he could take care of her when she wakes up. He leaned over and gave his baby sister a tiny kiss. “Good night,” he whispered and closed his eyes.
