📖 Read-Aloud Poem: Little Robin Redbreast
Little Robin Redbreast
    Sat upon a tree;
Up went Pussy-cat,
    Down went he.

Down came Pussy-cat,
    And away Robin ran;
Says little Robin Redbreast
    “Catch me if you can.”

Little Robin Redbreast
    Hopped upon a wall;
Pussy-cat jumped after him,
    And almost got a fall.

Little Robin chirped and sang,
    And what did Pussy say?
Pussy-cat said “Mew,”
    And Robin flew away.

🧐 Fun Fact: The Original Version (1744) Was Very Different!
The earliest recorded version of Little Robin Redbreast comes from Tommy Thumb’s Pretty Song Book (c. 1744). It had a more basic, humorous tone and went like this:

Little Robin Red breast,
    Sitting on a pole,
Nidde, Noddle, Went his head,
    And poop went his hole!

This playful and silly version reflects how nursery rhymes have evolved over time! 🤭🐦
