Itzy Bitzy House

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Arthur Robins. "By an itzy bitzy house, / Down a twisty turny lane, / A twitchy witchy mouse / Is sitting in the rain." He and a similarly wet and homeless cat, puppy, and goat are all ultimately welcomed inside the titular house by a kind old man. The kinetic, cartoony drawings, mainly in secondary hues, ensure that the taut, unfailingly snappy rhymes never seem cutesy.
