C—A—T.
Reading edition
FOR THE VERY LITTLE ONES.
BE quiet, good Tabby! See how still you can be, For I’m going to teach you To spell C—A—T. I’ll show you the way Mother reads it to me: She looks very sober, And says C—A—T. Fred says you can’t learn, But we’ll show him that we Can learn, if we please, To spell C—A—T. To what little May said Tabby did not agree, And I doubt if she learned To spell C—A—T.

C—A—T.
