The Animals in the Mitten
Tune: The Farmer in the Dell
A phonemic awareness song adapted by Mrs. Jones
This is the order of the animals in Jan Brett's version of the book:
A mole is the first to discover the mitten and crawls inside, followed by a snowshoe rabbit, a hedgehog, an owl, a badger, a fox, a bear and, finally a mouse. The mouse causes the bear to sneeze; the mitten and all its occupants go flying.
