TEDDY BEAR, TEDDY BEAR, SAY WHAT?

Up for discussion:
On recent professional listservs relating to storytimes for children, concerns have been expressed over the following lines from a well-loved old favorite: "Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, go upstairs/Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, say your prayers." Among the suggested substitutions? Teddy Bear . . . fluff your hairs, and Teddy Bear . . . show who cares. No kidding! Do you care? Let us know what you think! --Mrs. K
