“ Tiddly Winks sat on the window-sill.
Tiddly Scowl came in late.
He stopped on the way to school.
He stopped to play ball.
Tiddly Why said, “Why are you late?”
THE NEW SONG
Tiddly Cheer-Up sang on Friday.
He sang a new song on Friday.
“If the weather is wet,
You’ll have fun yet,
If the weather is cold,
Please do not scold,
If the weather is dry,
To have fun we try, [65]
When the weather is warm,
Comes a thunder storm,
Cheer-Up, we have fun together.
We like different kinds of weather.” ”

“ A greeting from the Tiddly Winks,
May be in pencil, or in ink,
Each Tiddly Winks will be your friend,
From the beginning to the end! [94]
They learn so many things from you,
And little tricks they like to do,
If you learn things from them, they say,
We’ll call again another day!
Tiddly Winks can you read?
Then you are very wise indeed,
Put on spectacles if you need,
Work with a will and you’ll succeed. FINIS
Have You Had the Six Tiddly Winks and the A to Zees? ”

“ The Tiddly Winks are good natured little fairies who teach lessons of thrift and good cheer. Here we meet Tiddly Winks, Tiddly Wee, Tiddly Thrift, Tiddly Cheer-Up, Tiddly Scowl, and Tiddly Why, all having the characteristics of real children. ”

“ He taught them to write on both sides.
TO SAVE
The Waste Basket began to cry.
He began to cry on Wednesday.
“See the children save their paper.”
“They write on both sides of the paper.”
“How will I ever get full of paper?” ”

They called, “Good-bye Father and Mother.”

The Rag Doll kissed them all.
The Rag Doll was glad to see them.
They sat in the new Doll House in Toy Town.

The Rag Doll said, “Where is Tiddly Scowl?”

When I Begin I Like to Spin
Sure enough, where was Tiddly Scowl? ”
