By Edna Recana

​Directions: Read the Poem "Little Robin Redbreast" then answer the questions.

​Little Robin Redbreast

Sat up in the tree,

Up went the kitty cat

Down went he.

Down came the kitty cat-

Away Robin ran,

Said little Robin Redbreast,

"Catch me if you can."​

Little Robin Redbreast

Hopped upon a wall,

Kitty cat jumped after him,

And almost had a fall.

Little Robin chirped and sang,

And what did kitty say?

Kitty cat said, "Meow!" quite loud,

And Robin flew away.​
