Coyote points out that Bear received both the tops and the bottoms, which means Coyote gets all the middles. Bear decides to plant his own garden from now on. . #lettuce . . . . . . #topsandbottoms #readerstheater #firstgrade #paperhat #constructionpaper #schoolplay #costume #crayola #cutandpaste #elementary #librariansofinstagram #schoolgrade #librarylife (at Emerson Elementary School)
