From Storytime
An friendly, but firm little girl makes a bear cub follow all the rules at her tea party before he is allowed to eat any of the cookies. Things don't turn out quite how either of them planned.
Illustrations of children playing and text present the lyrics to the classic children's song. We simply sung the song through twice in storytime.
