Book

Baby Piggy Had a Lamb.

Newsmanlamb

The Newsman encounters Mary and her Lamb.

Mary Had a Little Lamb is a nursery rhyme first published in 1830.

The poem was inspired by an actual pet lamb belonging to Mary Sawyer. At the encouragment of her brother, the young Mary brought her lamb to school one day, resulting in the poem still recited by children generations later.

The poem, and the character, have had numerous appearances and mentions in Muppet productions over the years.

  • In a Sesame Street News Flash segment, Don Music is trying to compose "Mary Had a Little Lamb," but he can't find a rhyme for "snow." Kermit suggests he try a new angle and the result is "Mary Had a Bicycle". And in another News Flash segment, Kermit interviews Mary and her lamb, which follows Kermit home.
  • In the News Flash segment "Cookie Red Riding Hood", the doorbell to Red Riding Hood's Grandmother plays "Mary Had a Little Lamb."
  • In yet another New Flash segment, Kermit encounters a distressed Little Bo Peep, whose sheep is missing. One of the sheep they interview claims to be Mary's little lamb.
