“It is in his kitchen,” answered Mother.
“He must have a big oven,” said Betty.
“He has,” said Mother. “And he has a long wooden shovel to take the bread from the oven.”
“I’d like to be a baker,” said Bobby. “I’d like to have a baker’s shop and a great big oven. I’d like to make pies and cakes and muffins and bread and buns.”
“Let’s play we have a baker’s shop,” said Betty. “Let’s play we are baking bread in an oven. Let’s take the bread from the oven with a long wooden shovel.”
So Bobby and Betty played they were bakers. They made an oven with their blocks. And they made mud pies and little cakes and put them in their oven.
For study and play:
Pat it here, and pat it there,
What a dainty prize!
