THE THINGITY-JIG
by Kathleen Doherty, illustrated by Kristyna Litten
An inquisitive bear ventures into People Town, where he makes quite the curious discovery. Bear finds a “Thingity-Jig.” It’s a springy thing—a bouncy thing—a sit-on-it, jump-on-it thing. It’s a bit too cumbersome to bring back to the woods, so Bear runs home to tell his friends. Unfortunately, none of his friends are willing to help, so Bear invents a “Rolly-Rumpity” to wheel home the “Thingity-Jig.” Through trial and error, and lots of push-back from sleepy friends, Bear finally gets it home to the woods, where he graciously shares his discovery.
