这首儿歌源自于美国著名儿童文学家毕翠克丝·波特的著作《彼得兔》。她的每一个故事都有几十幅精美生动的插图，而且都是她自己手绘的，全篇里的动物、植物都生动的真实充满着拟人化的细节，动物是与人一样的生灵，它有人一样的喜怒哀乐，一样的大智慧一样的好心肠。

以此为背景创作的这首童谣，韵律感十足，有利于培养小孩子举一反三的思维能力。通过改变空白处的单词，配以适当的肢体语言，可以锻炼孩子快速的思维反应能力，同时也丰富了孩子的单词记忆，用歌曲的意境带动孩子思维的快速转换。在学习这首歌曲的时候，可以让孩子在原地晃动着身体，扭扭屁股、扭扭腰，让其充分体会到儿歌快乐的氛围。

Little Peter Rabbit has a fly upon his fry
Little Peter Rabbit has a fly upon his fry
Little Peter Rabbit has a fly upon his fry
And he chased it’til it flew away
Little Peter Rabbit has a fly upon his nose
Little Peter Rabbit has a fly upon his tail
Little Peter Rabbit has a fly upon his head
And he hit it’til it flew away
Little Peter Rabbit has a fly upon his fry
Little Peter Rabbit has a fly upon his fry
Little Peter Rabbit has a fly upon his fry
And he hit it’til it flew away
Little Peter Rabbit has a fly upon his fry
Little Peter Rabbit has a fly upon his fry
Little Peter Rabbit has a fly upon his fry
And he hit it’til it flew away
