Miss Mary Mack: A Hand-Clapping Rhyme

(3) PS In this expanded version of the popular hand-clapping rhyme, the elephant (who's "jumped so high... / He reached the sky... / And didn't come back... / Till the fourth of July...") lands in the middle of a picnic where Mary Mack promises him her silver buttons if he doesn't go back to the zoo. Westcott's loose and humorous illustrations add to the necessarily limited text. A melody line and instructions for hand-clapping are included on the front endpapers.
