Week 11 Reading Diary: British Unit

Week 11 reading diary comes from the British Unit: Nursery Rhymes.  The Nursery Rhyme Book by Andrew Lang are one of the many collections and editions of the English nursery rhymes.

Reading A:
Nursery Rhymes: Tales

-Babes in the Woods - This is a rather sad nursery rhyme, children were taken and killed, saddest part is that no now knew their names.

There was a Crooked Man - What cute little story of a crooked man who loves who he is and continued the theme of crookedness.

Simple Simon
- I like how the pieman was going to the fair, and he only wanted a penny for a taste?!

The Lion and the Unicorn
-Of course the lion beats the unicorn, but i like how after the lion won he gave the town food.

Tom, Tom, The Piper's Son
-I didn't like that Tom the piper's son stole a pig to eat it.

Three Wise Men of Gotham
- Cute, that if the bowl had been stronger that the song could have been longer.

Taffy was a Welshman
- Taffy sounds like a real sketchy dude, I'm glad someone finally flung a poker and hit his head.

Little Jack Horner
-I always loved this nursery rhyme, such a cute story

Solomon Grundy
-Interesting rhyme going through the days of the week, very creative.

Nursery Rhymes: Proverbs

St. Swithin's Day
-This is reminds me of the story of the flood that God sent.

If Wished Were Horses
-These are cute little stories that talk about what would happen if did something a certain way.

Monday's Child
- I love how all of these go with the days of the weeks, really starts to make me think creatively for my story.

For Want of a Nail
- You always want something, and something always leaves you once you get what you want.

"March winds and April showers Bring forth May flowers."
