Learning Tip: How Well Do You Know the Muffin Man?

Songs are good beginnings for conversations. What is a muffin man, anyway? Did he sell anything else? Do stars really twinkle? What are stars? How come Mary has a lamb and you don’t? And if they lived on a farm, how did the lamb get out of the gate? Why is snow white? Some of these questions are just for fun (did the muffin man sell anything else?). But others can spur an investigation at the library or on the Internet (why is snow white?). These endeavours should be fun and engaging—and who knows, you might learn something new, too!
