Mary had a little lamb, and everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go... even to school! The children laugh, the teacher leads the lamb outside, and the lamb waits, and waits, for Mary. Why does the lamb love Mary so? Sing the song everyone knows, every verse of it, and find the little yellow chick on every page.
Level 1 · First Songs
Listen, move, and join in with a sound.
The child: Listens, moves, claps or taps, and joins in with a sound, a word or a sign when the song stops for them.
The grown-up: Sings most of it. Pauses before the word that comes back so the child can fill it in, any way they can.
