◎玩遊戲:
我覺得這是一首可以拿來和孩子輪流念誦的詩歌。當然,大人小孩的角色可以互換。譬如:
大人:Drummer Hoff fired it off.
小孩:Private Parriage brought the carriage, but Drummer Hoff fired it off.
大人:Corporal Farrell brought the barrel.
小孩: Corporal Farrell brought the barrel,
Private Parriage brought the carriage,
but Drummer Hoff fired it off.
大人: Sergeant Chower brought the powder.
小孩: Sergeant Chower brought the powder,
Corporal Farrell brought the barrel,
Private Parriage brought the carriage,
but Drummer Hoff fired it off.
以此類推。
◎文字往上堆還是往下加?
如果依照時間的先後順序的話,文字應該是往下加,而不是往上堆。
我覺得應該是
Private Parriage brought the carriage,
but Drummer Hoff fired it off.

In 1951, Milhous was awarded the Caldecott Medal for a picture book for The Egg Tree. Her use of bright tempera paints brought to life the bold borders and vibrant pages of the book. Milhous also used the traditional Pennsylvania Dutch hex designs in the colorful children’s book.
Rury's pipes set the rafters a-ringing
Till the clock danced a reel on the shelf
And they all fell to dancing and singing,
And the little dog danced by himself.
Och, the walls the bulged out and bulged in then,
The walls they bulged in and out.
這故事是改編自"The Canterbury Tales"中的“Nun's Priest's Tale”。(The Nonnes Preestes Tale of the Cok and the Hen, Chauntecleer and Pertelote) is one of The Canterbury Tales by the 14th century Middle English poet Geoffrey Chaucer. )
