Creole In The Jungle
Creole in the Jungle: a Caribbean Counting Rhyme from Belize, Central America by Nancy Hines Bailey (MiNanci) The rhythm is an adaptation of the old counting rhyme: Over in the Meadow by Olive A. Wadsworth . In this lively counting rhyme readers will learn the Creole name for each of the animals mentioned. The mother is named in English and her children “pikney” in Creole. Creole in the Jungle is a wonderful way to learn to count, get a flavor for another culture and peek into the jungle. Have fun and enjoy!
