Carry Me Tales make wonderful little gifts for toddlers. Each has a soft cloth cover with a little handle at the top so that kids can carry it around like a miniature briefcase. The pages inside the cloth are sturdy cardboard with charming color illustrations and a little story that Mom or Dad can read aloud to baby. A Velcro-tipped tab keeps the covers shut. In this Carry Me Tale, Puddle the Duck has his own Carry Me bag, which he totes around as he meets his animal friends. It contains a handkerchief to dry kitten after she's fallen into a pond, a ribbon to tie around the pony's mane, and lots more helpful things that Puddle the Duck gives to his friends. But soon his bag is empty. He feels sad, until his friends come to see him with a special thank-you gift!
