FAMILIAR RHYMES
Jack and Jill
Jack and Jill went up a hill
To fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down
And broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after.
Mary Had A Little Lamb
Mary had a little lamb
Its fleece was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go.
Rock -a-bye, baby,
On the treetop.
When the wind blows,
The cradle will rock.
When the bough breaks,
The cradle will fall.
Down will come baby,
Cradle and all.
