This is Seymore Bubbles.
Seymore is a little stuffed bear. He was born in a toy shop in Greenville, South Carolina. Seymore’s toy shop home was part of a shopping mall. There were many other shops and stores in the mall. There were clothing stores, jewelry stores, shoe stores, food shops and many others. Seymore’s toy shop home sold stuffed animals of all kinds.
 | Seymore loved sitting with his stuffed animal friends but his favorite thing to do was watch the people as they went by his shop’s window. Sometimes the people moved very fast and other times the people seemed to enjoy just wandering by. Seymore wondered where they came from and where they went when they left the mall. (He knew the people did not sleep in the shops like he did). Seymore dreamed of being able to go explore. |

On a day that began like every other day, something wonderful happened. A mom picked out Seymore and gave him a little girl!
| She danced… |  |
 | and jumped… and twirled. |
| The Little Girl was perfect. |  |

She was “visiting” her grandmother in South Carolina. That meant that she did not live in South Carolina but was only staying there for a little while. She was exploring right now! |
| As the Little Girl took Seymore outside of his toy shop, she talked about going home to a place called Florida. She told Seymore that Florida was another state. She said that there were 50 states in all that made up the USA. They would travel from South Carolina and pass through Georgia and Alabama before they got home to Florida. |  Image from yellowmaps.com |

Seymore always knew that his toy shop home was part of the mall. And he knew that the mall had many other stores in it. These stores were all different because they all sold different things. These stores were also all alike because they were places that people could go to buy things. People could go from one store to another in the mall by walking. But whichever store the people shopped in, they were still in the mall.

Now Seymore understood that his home state, South Carolina, was part of a country – the United States of America. Seymore learned that there were many states in the country. His new home was in a state called Florida.
 | People could go to the different states by travelling by car, plane, bus, or train. Now, his little girl was taking him home in a car. |
Seymore was very happy and he could not wait for his adventures to begin: The Great & Small Adventures of Seymore Bubbles!
