BO-PEEP

Look-and-Say words

Sound-and-Say words

1. One day, Joan took her new book and sat under the shade of a big tree.

2. "I shall read about Bo-peep," she said aloud.

3. "Yes," said a voice, "but what good is that? No one ever tries to help me."

4. Joan looked up. There stood Bo-peep with her crook in her band.

5. "I don't know what we shall do for wool this winter, if I do not find the sheep," she said.

6. "Are they down by the brook?" asked Joan.

7. Bo-peep shook her head sadly.

No, she said, "I have looked there, and in the wood, too."

8. Just then, they heard the bleat of a sheep.

Did you hear that? said Bo-peep.

It is my pet lamb. I call her 'Soft-foot.' She will help me to find the others.

9. She took up her crook and ran off.

10. "Good-bye, dear little Bo-peep," said Joan. "I do hope you find your lost sheep."
