JOAN, TODDLES, AND TINY


Books Yellow, Red, and Green and Blue,All true, or just as good as true,And here’s the Yellow Book for you!
Hard is the path from A to Z,And puzzling to a curly head,Yet leads to Books—Green, Blue, and Red
For every child should understandThat letters from the first were plannedTo guide us into Fairy Land
So labour at your Alphabet,For by that learning shall you getTo lands where Fairies may be met.
And going where this pathway goes,You too, at last, may find, who knows?The Garden of the Singing Rose.
