THE BOBBS-MERRILL COMPANY PUBLISHERS INDIANAPOLIS U.S.A. MCMVII Copyright 1907 The Bobbs-Merrill Company Dear Boys and Girls.— In the short time I have been among you, I have made friends of some of the best little boys and girls throughout the land. I have been writing to my brothers and sisters at home telling them all about you, and they are very anxious to become acquainted also; so I sent for our family photograph album, which contains most of their pictures. Now Old Mother Goose is a neighbor of ours, and she earns her living by writing little rhymes, tales and jingles, and as she is a very good friend of our family, she has written many verses and rhymes about us, which I know you will enjoy reading. So you see I take great pride in presenting you this copy of our Family Photograph Album. Your sincere friend, Teddy. What are little Ted boys made of, made of? What are little Ted boys made of? Snaps and snails, and puppy-dogs’ tails; And that’s what Little Ted Boys are made of, made of. What are little Ted girls made of, made of? What are little Ted girls made of? Sugar and spice, and all that’s nice; And that’s what Little Ted girls are made of, made of. Ding dong bell! Teddy’s in the well! Who put him in? Little Teddy Flinn. Who pulled him out? Little Teddy Stout. What a naughty boy was there Thus to drown poor Teddy Bear. Little Ted Horner Sat in a corner, Eating a Christmas Pie. He put in his thumb, And took out a plum, And said, “What a big bear am I!” As I went to Bonner, I met a bear With coal-black hair, Upon my word and honor. Old Mother Hubbard Went to the cupboard To get Little Teddy a bun; But when she got there, The cupboard was bare, So poor Little Ted had none. She went to the baker’s To buy him some bread; But when she came back, Poor Teddy was dead. She went to the joiner’s To buy him a coffin; But when she came back, Little Teddy was laughing She took a clean dish To get him some tripe; But when she came back, He was smoking his pipe
