This Little Piggy (Nursery Rhyme)

Summary


"This Little Piggy" is a beloved nursery rhyme that follows five little pigs through five very different adventures — from a trip to the market to a sad supper with no meat at all. The rhyme builds playfully from pig to pig, saving the best for last: one tiny pig who cries "Wee, wee, wee!" all the way home. Short, rhythmic, and full of fun repetition, it has delighted children during tickling and toe-counting games for generations.

This little pig went to market;
This little pig stayed at home;
This little pig had a bit of meat;
And this little pig had none;
This little pig said, Wee, wee, wee!
I can’t find my way home.
