### A "Little" Mother Goose

Emily needs to write an original Mother Goose rhyme for school, but is finding the assignment difficult. Fortunately, Barney has a friend who can help-Mother Goose herself! She reminds Emily that the rhymes should be fun-and thus begins a happy romp as Barney and the kids play games based on Mother Goose rhymes.
