Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What kind of 'little' animal did Mary have in the popular nursery rhyme?

Answer: Lamb

"Mary Had a Little Lamb" was a poem before it was a song. It was written by a woman named Sarah Hale in 1830, and some of the words are about things that actually happened. For example, the lamb's owner was a girl called Mary, and she did take the lamb to school one day after her brother convinced her it was a good idea.

2. A very popular song about a parent singing to their child is called "You Are My Moonlight".

Answer: False

It's actually called "You Are My Sunshine". This song wasn't always a children's tune. It was actually recorded by country musicians Jimmie Davis and Charles Mitchell in 1939 before its popularity grew. It has been sung by many different artists in different styles since then.

3. What kind of place did Old MacDonald have, according to the song of the same name?
