A Story For Children

There is a little red train Rolling down the line Little red train I wish that you were mine You're taking all the toys and the girls and boys On a trip to toyland tonight . There will be trains and planes Buses and motor cars Dolls and prams Jelly babies from the jar They'll all come alive When the clock strikes one They'll keep on playing Until the night is done . Dora the doll and Ted the teddy bear and a beautiful baby in her big high chair and they'll all come alive When the clock strikes one and keep on playing Until the night is done . So go to sleep All you girls and boys Dream of the little train and all those toys For when you dream Wishes can come true and mommy and daddy Will watch over you Little red train Rolling down the line Little red train I wish that you were mine.

this is a very sweet one. And it flows well too. So when she reads it aloud it will sound good to the ear. I used an old story in my files here about a raccoon. I sure hope she likes it.
