Mainly Mother Goose

DD1 has been really interested in learning Mother Goose rhymes, so I bought this CD 'Mainly Mother Goose' from Amazon.com after reading good reviews about it.

I am using nursery rhymes to teach DD1 rhyming words. The way that the music is arranged is lively and engaging. The performers are also quite creative with the melodies.

I remember when I was 6 or 7 years old, the only English cassette tape that my mother bought for us was full of Christmas carols for children. My siblings and I would play the tape over and over again on the tape recorder and we could sing the songs even though we rarely spoke English at home. My favorite songs were 'Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer', 'Frosty the Snowman', 'All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth' and 'I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus'.

DD1 loves to sing 'Polly Put the Kettle On'. She looks so cute when she sings and act out this song.

My favorite songs in this CD? Five Green Apples, Little Rabbit Foo-Foo and Five Little Chickadees


All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth
By Don Gardner

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth,
My two front teeth, see my two front teeth.
Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth,
Then I could wish you "Merry Christmas."

It seems so long since I could say,
"Sister Susie sitting on a thistle."
Gosh, oh gee, how happy I'd be
If I could only whistle.

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth,
My two front teeth, see my two front teeth
Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth,
Then I could wish you "Merry Christmas."


I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
By T. Connor

I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe last night
She didn't see me creep
Down the stairs to have a peep
She thought that I was tucked up in my bedroom fast asleep
Then I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night
