Little Fred

Traditional

ages 0 to 2nursery rhymesread aloudabout 11 seconds aloud

A tiny bedtime rhyme about a boy who says his prayers and kisses his parents goodnight before heading upstairs. Short enough to fold straight into an actual bedtime routine.

From Mother Goose / Nursery Rhymes (traditional). See the whole collection.

When little Fred went to bed,
  He always said his prayers;

He kissed mamma, and then papa,
  And straightway went upstairs.
