"Once there was a little brown puppy who loved his mama very much. So he got the the best present he could find-a big, beautiful bone...."

A little brown puppy, a little baby turtle, a snowy white kitten, and other baby animal friends, each finds a present for Mama, which the little one delivers with a sweet little rhyme such as: "This bone was very hard to get./It's from a dinosaur, I bet." And each mama demonstrates her appreciation and her love; "I love the bone, my little brown puppy. And I love you."
