Can you help me find the lyrics and origins to a nursery rhyme that starts with:

“I’ve a picture book. It is open, look. Let me show you the pictures inside…”

Many thanks,

Karen

    Goes something like this, my mum used to sing it to me….

    I’ve a picture book, it is open wide,
    I will show you the pictures inside.
    On the front there’s a goat in a pretty white coat and a pony to take me for a ride.

    I will shut my book on the cover look
    There’s a big fat chicken on her nest,
    With a cat and a dog and a little green frog
    Oh I don’t know which one I like the best
