Letter P Songs & Rhymes (free book!)
Here are the songs and rhymes in the little book:
Patty Cake
Patty cake, patty cake, baker’s manBake me a cake just as fast as you can.Pat it and prick it, and mark it with BAnd put in the oven for baby and me!Miss Polly
We say this one, but you can use this tune if you’d like to sing it.
Miss Polly had a dolly who was sick, sick, sick.So she called for the doctor to come quick, quick, quick.The doctor came with his bag and hatAnd he knocked on the door with a rat-a-tat-tat.He looked at the dolly and he shook his head.And he said “Miss Polly, put her straight to bed!”He wrote on a paper for some pills, pills, pills.“I’ll be back in the morning with my bill, bill, bill.”Pirate Song
There are many versions to this song. Here’s ours. If you want to hear the tune (and more verses), click here.
When I was one I banged my drumThe day I went to sea.I jumped aboard a pirate ship, And the captain said to me.“We’re going this way, that way,Forwards and backwards,Over the Irish Sea.”A jar of jelly to fill my belly,And that’s the life for me!Peter Piper
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,Where’s the peck of pickled peppersPeter Piper picked?Pop Goes the Weasel
For the tune, click here.
All around the cobbler’s benchThe monkey chased the weasel.The monkey thought ’twas all in fun – POP goes the weasel! A penny for a spool of thread,A penny for a needle.That’s the way the money goes,POP goes the weasel!Peter, Peter, Pumpkin-Eater
Peter, Peter, pumpkin-eaterHad a wife and couldn’t keep her.He put her in a pumpkin shell,And there he kept her very well.How to assemble my Little Letter Books:
- Print the document in color (if you desire) on cardstock. Be sure to print pages 2-3 front to back (page 1 is my Terms of Use). You will need only one piece of paper.
- Cut an even line across the center of the page.
- Fold the two sheets to make a book. Make sure the cover is in front, and insert the other page inside.
- Staple with a long arm stapler.

I love these books. I’m a Head Start home visitor and they’re great for the families I work with.
I found this tutorial for making little books, and it’s really neat — but requires that the upper section of each page be upside down. I don’t want to alter your work, but can you make them available this way?

That looks like a neat set-up! Unfortunately, I just don’t have the hours that it takes to redo all the books. 🙂

My son loves these! We are currently doing a letter a week and checking out books from the library about animals that start with the corresponding letter. Hope that made sense. 😉 This fits perfectly with what we are doing. Thank you!

I’m so glad he likes these, Shannon! I started making these when our second son was 2 to help him learn the alphabet. He’s in kindergarten now and a great reader. 🙂
