Three Little Kittens Mother Goose Illustration Key Ring

Vintage Three Little Kittens - Illustration of Their Lost Mittens - Poor little kittens lost their mittens! This is the most beautiful vintage three little kittens image from a children's book from the 1800s The kittens are in the garden, just as they've figured out their mittens are gone. One kitten has its fan, and another has a parasol, but not a mitten in sight! This rhyme is part of the Mother Goose collection of nursery rhymes. Three little kittens they lost their mittens, And they began to cry, Oh, mother dear, we sadly fear Our mittens we have lost. What! lost your mittens, you naughty kittens! Then you shall have no pie. Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow. No, you shall have no pie. The three little kittens they found their mittens, And they began to cry, Oh, mother dear, see here, see here, Our mittens we have found! Put on your mittens, you silly kittens, And you shall have some pie. Purr-r, purr-r, purr-r, Oh, let us have some pie. The three little kittens put on their mittens, And soon ate up the pie; Oh, mother dear, we greatly fear Our mittens we have soiled. What! soiled your mittens, you naughty kittens! Then they began to sigh, Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow. Then they began to sigh. The three little kittens they washed their mittens, And hung them out to dry; Oh! mother dear, do you not hear, Our mittens we have washed! What! washed your mittens, then you’re good kittens, But I smell a rat close by. Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow. We smell a rat close by. From Folen, New Nursery Songs for All Good Children (1843)
