Three little kittens they lost their mittens,
 And they began to cry,
Oh, mother dear, we sadly fear
That we have lost our mittens.
What! Lost your mittens, you naughty kittens!
Then you shall have no pie.
Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow.
No, you shall have no pie.
The three little kittens they found their mittens,
And they began to cry,
Oh, mother dear, see here, see here,
For we have found our mittens,
Put on your mittens, you silly kittens,
And you shall have some pie.

This book of nursery rhymes is for children of the computer age. The use of these word images teaches children abstract thinking and should be popular with adults as well. © Iyway Company L. L. C. Send e-mail to:iyedo@earthlink.net
The compelling music of these jingles is so ear-catching, children from eighteen months to six years and more will listen to them entranced when they are read aloud. Then, they begin to say them with the reader, and next, they are chanting them when they are alone, never missing a beat or a rhyme. The melodies of these nursery rhyme verses may begin crudely with a tumpity-tump sort of beat, but there are also some charming lyrics in Mother Goose collections, not included in this site, such as "Daffy-down-dilly," "I saw a ship a-sailing," and others.
