Well, it didn’t take the Shady Forest and Sunny Meadow people long to walk into the tent. Uncle Lucky headed the procession, Little Jack Rabbit next, then Grandma Bunny and Lady Love, Mr. Rabbit and the Big Brown Bear, until, way down at the end, waddled Ducky Waddles.
“Quack, quack! Please hurry!” he begged, beginning to fear the circus would be over by the time he entered the tent.
But he needn’t have worried, for the Old Dog Driver had arrived early.
“Come on, Timmie Meadowmouse,” cried the little bunny, “I must see the animals.”
Pretty soon they came to a little tent. They didn’t know it belonged to the Circus Queen, the lovely lady dressed in gauze and gold spangles, who rode on the big white horse.
There she sat on a circus trunk, holding in her arms a little baby.
“Hush-a-by, hush-a-by,
Little Boy Blue,
Mother is singing
A dream song to you.
