Composer's Notes:
This is part of a set of four musical settings of wonderful texts by Arnold Lobel from his book Whiskers and Rhymes. I was commissioned to write them for the 1996-97 ACDA Minnesota Elementary Honors Choir, and they have since been published as separate octavos by Shawnee Press/Mark Foster Music.
