Shiner Story

Item #5055

(June, 1988) Shiner and his friends Twinkle and Sparkle wish that they were clowns. Then they could run away and join the circus. To pretend, they’ve dressed up in funny clothes and put on fake noses. Shiner’s coin is from Holland, where he also found his wooden shoes. He looks as though people are asking him, “Where’d you get your shiner?” His answer is, “Wouldn’t you like to know?” Only Sparkle knows. There’s a big walnut behind Shiner, because he’s nuts about Sparkle.
