Fiddle-I-Fee: A Farmyard Song for the Very Young
I had a cat / and the cat pleased me, / I fed my cat under yonder tree; / Cat went fiddle-i-fee." A nursery version of the merry cumulative song invites animal noises from all who read or sing it, including Goose's "swishy-swashy" and Hen's "chipsy-chopsy." The narrating toddler leads all the creatures to a comical farm picnic, a wordless denouement that creates smiles all around and encourages another rendition of the song and the colorful book! Sweet combines a skillful adaptation of the lyrics and joyous full-color illustrations within an appealing picture book for baby gifts, lap time and group singing. ©1992 Cooperative Children's Book Center
