once upon a time there were three little

the first little pig built his house out

of straw because it is fluffy and no

fuss

[Music]

the second little pig built her house

out of sticks because she was in a rush

i'm in such a rush

the third little pig built his house out

of bricks because bricks would make a

snug heart

bricks are such a fuss why struggle so

much can't have lunch with us in the mud

i'm in no rush

then one day the big bad wolf knocked on

the door of the straw house

little big little pig let me come in

so then that little piggy said no no you

can't come in not by the hair of my

chinny chin chin so i said then i'll

huff and i'll puff and i'll blow your

house in

so

so he and he popped and he blew

the house

then i'll huff and i'll puff and i'll

blow your house in but the big bad wolf

could not blow down the house of bricks

he grew very angry

eat you and with that the wolf started

down the chimney time for

lunch

the big bad wolf didn't know that the

three little pigs had a big pot of water

boiling in the fireplace

told you these were comfy the ants and

the grasshopper retold by margot milch

illustrated by mimi michaels

many moons ago there lived two moody

ants named murray and marge

a rumpf ditto they lived near a very

merry grasshopper named melanie

although it was still summer

murray and marge started preparing for

winter

they gathered some mangoes and melons

meanwhile melanie sang and danced the

mambo

oh i like that music

murray keep moving

they collected mushrooms and leftover

macaroni melanie sang and danced the

mambo

left and a mambo rat underneath the pale

moonlight yeah i'm mumbo in all right

murray oh sorry

they even managed to find milk from a

cow named myrtle

melanie as you might imagine sang and

danced the mambo

dogs will park and catch me

work tomorrow mumbo now

sing it mal sing it

but when it started to grow cold dogs

will bark and cat meow work tomorrow

mama now murray and marge became alarmed

melanie stop this madness you must

gather food right now or you'll have

nothing to eat for winter she's right

now

but melanie paid them no mind

booey

jumping places

by the middle of the month mountains of

snow covered to the ground and melon

grew very hungry

wow

i'm starving

we warned you you didn't gather any food

so you're not prepared for winter but

but

oh

at first melanie didn't mind so much she

sang and danced and waited for the snow

to melt oh mambo mia i'm a dancing queen

but then she grew too tired to dance and

her tummy rumbled even louder than her

singing

maybe marge and murray were right

meanwhile murray and marge munched their

food but murray was glum it's so quiet

in here i really miss that mambo

me too

in that moment murray decided to make a

move he opened the door and motioned to

melanie hey melanie would you like some

meatballs and mashed potatoes
