Nursery Rhymes, Books, and Felt Stories for kids
Beloved nursery rhymes such as "Jack and Jill," "Little Miss Muffet," "Hickory, Dickory, Dock," and "Baa, Baa, Sheep," have been cherished by children for generations. Their silliness, their rhyme and repetition make them fun for children to listen to and recite. Nursery rhymes are also a great tool to practice phonemic awareness and phonics skills.
Jack and Jill
(Traditional Nursery Rhyme)
Jack and Jill went up the hill,
To fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown,
And Jill came tumbling after.
Up Jack got,
and home did trot,
As fast as he could caper,
To old Dame Dob,
who patched his nob
With vinegar and brown paper.
Jack Spratt
(Traditional Nursery Rhyme)
Jack Sprat could eat no fat,
His wife could eat no lean,
And so between the two of them,
They licked the platter clean.
Little Bo Peep
(Traditional Nursery Rhyme)
Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep,
And can't tell where to find them.
Leave them alone, and they'll come home,
Wagging their tails behind them.
Little Jack Horner
(Traditional Nursery Rhyme)
Little Jack Horner sat in the corner,
Eating his Christmas pie,
He put in his thumb and pulled out a plum,
And said "What a good boy am I!"
Old King Cole
(Traditional Nursery Rhyme)
Old King Cole was a merry old soul,
and a merry old soul was he.
He called for his pipe in the middle of the night,
And he called for his fiddlers three.
Every fiddler had a fine fiddle,
and a very fine fiddle had he.
Oh there's none so rare as can compare
With King Cole and his fiddlers three.
The Queen of Hearts
(Traditional Nursery Rhyme)
The Queen of Hearts
She made some tarts,
All on a summer's day.
The Knave of Hearts
He stole those tarts,
And took them clean away.
The King of Hearts
Called for the tarts,
And beat the knave full sore.
The Knave of Hearts
Brought back the tarts,
And vowed he'd steal no more.

Little Miss Muffet
Little Miss Muffet
sat on a tuffet,
eating her curds and whey.
Along came a spider
who sat down beside her,
and frightened Miss Muffet away.
Bow-Wow
"Bow-wow," says the dog.
"Meow-meow," says the cat.
"Grunt-grunt," says the hog,
and "squeak," goes the rat.
"Buzz-buzz", says the bee.
"Tweet-tweet," says the jaya.
"Caw-caw," says the crow.
"Quack-quack," says the duck.
And what the cuckoo says, you know!
Litte Jack Horner
Little Jack Horner
sat in a corner
eating his holiday pie.
He stuck in his thumb
and pulled out a plum
and said, "What a lucky boy am I!"
Baa, Baa, Black Sheep Nursery Rhyme
"Baa, Baa, Black Sheep
havy you any wool?"
"Yes sir, yes sir,
three bags full.
One for my master.
One for my dame.
And one for the little girl
who lives down the lane."
The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe
There was an old woman
who lived in a shoe.
She had so many children,
she didn't know what to do.
She gave them some broth
along with some bread,
then hugged them all soundly
and sent them to bed.
Little Boy Blue
Little Boy Blue
come blow your horn.
The sheep's in the meadow.
The cow's in the corn.
Where is the young boy
who looks after the sheep?
He's under a haystack
fast asleep.
Will you wake him?
No, not I,
for if I do,
he is sure to cry.

Quiet, quiet, quiet…
Once upon a time there was a gray hedgehog
And his hedgehog.
The gray hedgehog was very quiet
And the hedgehog too.
And they had a child -
Very quiet hedgehog.
The whole family goes for a walk
At night along the paths
Hedgehog father, hedgehog mother
And a baby hedgehog.
Along the deaf autumn paths
They walk quietly: top-top-top...
The people of the forest have been sleeping for a long time. nine0099 Both the beast and the bird sleep.
But in the darkness, in the silence of the night
Two wolves can't sleep.
Here they go to rob
With a quiet step wolves ...
Hedgehogs heard them,
Raised the needles.
Steel round like a ball -
No heads, no legs.
Spoken:
— Hide your head,
Hurry up, cute hedgehog!
Hedgehog cringed, upright
Raised a hundred needles ...
The wolf spun like a top,
Whimmed, jumped. nine0003
Paw - good, teeth - click.
And afraid to bite.
Walked away, lame, wolf,
The wolf came up.
She spins the hedgehog:
He has a round back.
Where is the neck, belly,
Nose and both ears?..
She began to roll
Ball on the road.
And hedgehogs - father and mother -
Prickly wolf legs.
Hedgehogs and hedgehogs
Needles, like a Christmas tree.
Snapping and trembling,
The wolves are retreating. nine0003
Hedgehogs whisper to a hedgehog:
- Don't move, lie down.
