Read and Enjoy • Decision-making

We all love toys. When we play with them we stay active and

feel happy. Let us read this poem about the toys the poet is
most fond of.

I have a lot of favourite toys.

I cannot choose just one.

I need to keep them all around
For different kinds of fun.

A book, a doll,
A drum, a ball,

And, of course, my teddy bear.

A wagon, a bike,

And finally I like
The jack-in-the-box sitting there.

As you can see, I need them all

For work and play and rest.
When you go home to find your toys,

Which ones do you like the best?

—Bernie
