In the USA, 'Incey Wincey Spider' is known as 'Itsy Bitsy Spider'. Somebody may know the reason for this linguistic divergence, but we certainly don't.

Only Big Drip and the Raindrops stand in Incey's way. Meanwhile, the weeds and flowers argue and the sun has a few questions for a knowledgeable bookworm. It's amazing what you learn living on a compost heap. |
