My Little Hound - Nursery Rhyme

A ground mound of ground round Made so happy, my little hound, A ground mound of ground round Made him jump up and down. He gulped and in a second downed The brown mound of ground round Made so happy, my little hound, It made him jump all around. He found the ground mound of round So tasty, my little hound, He gulped and in a second downed The whole mound of ground round. And after he ate the whole round mound He made the most curious sound Like he had just downed a brown round FROG!

Thanks so much, Chris. I tried to gear it to a younger child. I think it worked pretty well.

Thanks so much, Eve. The idea is that a person could read the story over again and again and name a different animal. I thought it was clever idea.
