A fun portrayal of a traditional folk song. Fun, interest-sparking illustrations with a good use of cut-outs. A bit morbid in its honesty.

Mother Tongue Notes: A fun piece of Americana. Constant rhythm, rhyme and repetition for easy use with a group of wide-range readers. Uses several American idioms that may be unfamiliar to non-American English speakers. Watch a youtube video after the reading to hear the song sung.
