What's Inside

Miss Polly has a dolly that is sick. What should we do to make her feel better?

Use this short rhyme with preschool and kindergarten children when you want a simple poetry read-aloud. It gives children a chance to hear rhyming language and talk about what happens when someone is sick.

Children can practice doctor office words and simple care ideas as they read. It also works well for a quick language arts lesson, a small group, or a cozy read-aloud at home.
