The song by Raffi is now illustrated to help kids visualize the craziest lyrics that helps kids learn rhyming. This book is great for children that are learning or love to rhyme, its so funny and a big hit. Great for kids 2 to 6.

The traditional song, as recorded by Raffi, with funny pictures by Nadine Bernard Westcott. Great for preschoolers to grade 2. (

In this song, two children imagine their mothers asking, "Did you ever see a goose kissing a moose, a fly wearing a tie, or llamas eating their pajamas down by the bay?"
