THREE LITTLE CATS

by Julia Blaine

Three Little Cats Lost Their Hats by Julia Blaine As responsible as most children, these forgetful kittens not only lost their mittens some time ago but now, at Halloween, they have lost their hats! Once more, Mother Cat is there to urge them to be more dependable, offering Pumpkin Pie as a reward. Can their search be successful once more on such a spooky night? Only the mysterious bat knows. When Eliza Follen introduced American children to these mischievous felines in 1843, she was apparently adapting a traditional British folk rhyme for children in Boston, Massachusetts. It became very popular, much more enjoyable than the usually moralistic children’s books of that time. Taking a clue from Eliza, here is an adaptation of her rhyme for Halloween, the holiday many families delight in every year.
