Felt Story:  Little Hungry Bears
1 little hungry bear getting ready for winter,
Eating lots of blueberries with a chew, chew, chew.
Along came another friend who was hungry,
And then there were 2.

2 little hungry bears getting ready for winter,
Eating all the fruit that dropped from a tree.
Along came another friend who was hungry,
And then there were 3.

3 little bears getting ready for winter,
They ate all the fruit and were looking for more.
Along came another friend who was hungry,
And then there were 4.

4 little bears getting ready for winter,
Wandering around they spied honey in a hive.
Along came another friend who was hungry,
And then there were 5.

5 friends eating their fill of honey,
When the bees swarmed out of the hive.
5 friends started running,
The bees behind them buzzing “Good-bye!”
