You can bring these classic Mother Goose rhymes to life with felt puppets that Velcro to a storyboard glove.  Rhymes illustrated in the book include:

Mary had a little lamb;
Pop goes the weasel;
Little Miss Muffet;
The cat and the fiddle;
Hickory, dickory, dock; and
Humpty Dumpty.

My son liked putting the story characters on the glove. He also liked talking about some of the details in the illustrations, such as “Is that horse going to save Humpty?” The last two pages were a story scene made of felt, so the story characters could also stick on these pages. This made it easier to play out the stories then using the glove, as well as make up new stories.

Parent’s Comment:

It is a shame that this book, “Mother Goose Rhymes,” only provided characters from four of the six rhymes. My son wondered where the characters were for “Pop Goes the Weasel” and “Hickory, Dickory, Dock.”
