The bean and the bear

(1954 August)

The Jumping Bean is now eclipsed by a caterpillar named Teddy Bear, a brown and black furry one. He lives in a soap box with a screen top and eats and eats. Uninformed children believe he lays eggs too. The Jumping Bean lives in his old Ink Bottle on the kitchen stove and we often think him to be quite dead until we use the stove and he warms up and starts to kick.
