Pussy cat, pussy cat, where have you been? Pussy Cat has been to see the new Queen, and under her chair she found a little mouse. Now they are friends, and they are greeting the guests at the Queen's party. Teddy came by bus, Marisol by boat, Malachi by train, Puppy by bike, Elephant by plane, and Granny Lin by car, right through the car wash! Ask where they have been, hear what they did, then tell your own. Sing the old rhyme, play the asking game on every page, and find the little tin spinning top.
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.
The grown-up: Shares the singing. Try word mode and the melody view, or the Piano Path lesson for the tune.
