Hawkins Hollow Nursery Rhymes
Giggle Library Cart Roll Rhyme B
“Roll, stop, listen close.” The actual engine is notice → roll → stop → listen → choose. Austin guides the cart slowly; Brandon signals the stopping place and listens to one short story line. The child may choose a kind next step—say “Read one more”—or a silly next step—whisper “book-wheel-bibble.”
Rhyme
Giggle Library Cart Roll
Willow Circle—roll, roll, slow;
Austin guided where to go.
Brandon said, “Stop here, please.”
Wheels grew still beneath the trees.
Red barn gate—listen near;
One short story line was clear.
Brandon listened; Austin stayed;
Quiet space for words was made.
Garden row—what shall we choose?
“Read one more,” or rest our shoes—
Or whisper silly, “Bibble-book!”
Then wait for one more story look.
Cobb Farm leaves in make-believe play
Turned pretend pages in the day.
Roll, stop, listen close;
Quiet words can gently grow.
