Old King Cole was a merry old soul, and he called for his fiddlers three. Then he called for more: drums, bells, trumpets, shakers and pipes! Play along with every sound, take turns, freeze for the hush, then play all together. Sing the rhyme everyone knows, and find the little shadow cat on every page.
Level 3 · Sing It Through
Longer verses, more to remember.
The child: Sings whole verses, follows a story, keeps counts and sequences, and can learn the tune on the keys.
