The spirited little girl in this story has a knack for collecting pets. She was walking down the road. Then she saw a toad, a butterfly, a snake, a frog, a bug, a snail when waiting for the mail, a little mouse when sweeping up the house, a kitten, a spider, a bunny, a sparrow. She caught them and kept them in the cages as her pet. What will she do when she saw all of them? Keep them or release them? The predictable pattern and cadence of this beloved story make it perfect for emergent readers. 1234Young listeners will enjoy the rhyme of Sarah E.
