One sunny day Justin Noonan, age 5, from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, was enjoying the afternoon with Mom, Dad, Steve, and Billy. Suddenly Mother Goose landed in front of him.
"Oh fiddle de de, fiddle de dum, I was visiting Old King Cole and I have lost my way home!" exclaimed Mother Goose.

"Please do not worry Mother Goose, I will help you find your way home," Justin offered eagerly.
They soon came upon an old woman living in a giant shoe.
"Let's ask for directions," suggested Justin.
There were so many children playing that Mother Goose and Justin didn't know what to do.

In the distance Justin saw brightly colored balloons flying high in the air. So, they strolled down the cobblestone road toward Humpty Dumpty's house.
"Oh help, I'm Falling!" yelled Humpty Dumpty.
"We will put you back together again," reassured the King's men.
Everyone was busy helping Humpty Dumpty, so Justin and Mother Goose decided to ask someone else for directions.

"Up ahead I see Little Miss Muffet sitting on a tuffet. I bet she can help," said Justin.
But everyone was frightened away by a huge spider wearing a little brown hat. Justin was so scared he wished Mom, Dad, Steve, and Billy could have been there to help.

They wandered for a while and came upon a beautiful garden of colorful flowers with smiling faces.
"The blossoms are beautiful, Mary, Mary! How does your garden grow?" inquired Justin.
With silver bells and cockle shells, and pretty maids all in a row," answered Mary, Mary, quite contrary.

Justin and Mother Goose followed the path and heard pretty music from a distant fiddle. As they strolled closer, Justin saw a cow jump over the moon, and a dish run away with a spoon. Everybody laughed to see such a sight that Justin forgot to ask for directions.

Justin looked up and saw a huge pumpkin house with windows in a garden.
"Let's ask peter, peter, pumpkin eater, for help," suggested Justin.
"Can you help Mother Goose find her way home?" Justin asked Peter, Peter.
"I would love to help, but I am busy eating pumpkins," replied Peter, Peter.

A merry melody caught the attention of Justin and Mother Goose Everyone was skipping in a circle and playing ring around the rosies.
"Come on, Let's join the fun!" giggled Justin.
So, Mother Goose and Justin played until they all fell down.

Justin turned around and heard the tic-toc tic-toc of hickory, dickory, dock.
"I see a giant clock with a happy face," announced Justin. The clock struck one, and a small grey mouse rand own.
Justin remarked, "Gee whiz, it's getting late. I must return to my home in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Mom, Dad, Steve, and Billy will be worried.

Justin told Mother Goose, "Twinkle, Twinkle little star will guide us to your home."
Mother Goose thanked Justin for helping her return home. Justin waved good-bye and promised to visit Mother Goose again.
Justin thought, "I can't wait to tell Mom, Dad, Steve, and Billy about my wonderful adventure."
