Little boy blue,
Come blow your horn,
The sheep’s in the meadow,
The cow’s in the corn.
But where is the boy
Who looks after the sheep?
He’s under a haystack,
Fast asleep.

Use this simple nursery rhyme as a springboard into learning. Our Little Boy Blue Lapbook provides lots of early learning printables.
