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.

Fairy tales in verses for children
Modern parents are overly keen on newfangled educational systems for kids. From the first days they are forced to swim, look at colorful cards and letters, they hang out words in foreign languages in front of him, do gymnastics, and teach him to count.
But methods that have been proven over the years can be considered insufficiently innovative. Nursery rhymes, pestles, fairy tales of all stripes, from the shortest to real literary works, fade into the background. Like the famous classics of Russian literature, who wrote excellent fairy tales in verse - Pushkin, Chukovsky, Marshak, Mikhalkov.

None of the most advanced systems of early development will teach a child to distinguish between good and evil, will not establish a system of moral values for him, will not enrich his vocabulary, will not develop his imagination, will not introduce him to the outside world, as a fairy tale can do. It is on the example of favorite heroes that a child will learn to live in society without any problems. The tale gives the first simplest model of behavior: if you do bad things to others, then you will definitely pay for it.
Evil, greedy, treacherous people have no friends. The one who is stupid can suffer. Retribution will surely come, and even if you are small and weak.
The very first images offered by such works are unequivocal. The fox is cunning, the wolf is angry and stupid, the bear is clumsy, the hare is a coward. When the child grows up, he begins to see their more complex natures: Koschey is angry, greedy, but very lonely. Or Kolobok: he didn’t listen to his grandparents, ran away from home, and then got on the fox’s tongue. What are the fairy tales in verse?
In ancient times, the child began his acquaintance with the fairy-tale world through short pestles and nursery rhymes. Gradually he became involved in the rich poetic world, listening to epics and legends. A whole suite of heroes arose before him: Alyosha Popovich, Dobrynya Nikitich, Ilya Muromets, Mikula Selyanovich, Sadko, Vasily Buslaev. Even women appeared in these tales not as downtrodden servants, but wise, strong, beautiful (Vasilisa the Beautiful or Nastasya Mikulishna), but in trouble, from which a brave hero will surely rescue them.
