I was trying to show that it's flexible, too. I like the second version better myself. Thanks!

This is what a nursery rhyme should sound like! So bravo! Great job!

Well, I think so. So many I am reading are far too complicated for little ones. This is so easily committed to memory and can be repeated over and over. I liked it, too. Thanks for your kind comment.

I like that 'Show me tricks' so much. I can just see little kids attempting to perform them so proudly! G.L. in the contest, my friend. Happy Work-Week, so to speak, Gershon

Thanks. Work week??? With COVID can't travel. It's like being a prisoner here in my little house, but, I have had both my shots. I do feel a bit safer now.

Great ones for teaching kids numbers. Looks like it's time to put my thinking cap on again. The weekend is here and already I see six contests to inspire the muse!
