Blue's Clues Nursery Rhymes Novels & Stories

Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high There's a land that I heard of Once in a lullaby Somewhere over the rainbow Skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true Someday I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far Behind me Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why then, oh why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly Beyond the rainbow Why, oh why can't I?

“This nursery rhyme was highlighted. There may be more. I think the highlighted nursery rhymes are clues!” Dylan reads “Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep…” The seemingly innocent rhyme makes me think I am Bo Peep in this scenario and Juliette is my sheep. While Dylan continues reading through the thick book of nursery rhymes looking for more that have been highlighted, we ponder possible meaning and how that pertains to the situation. “I have another!” Dylan shouts. “ Little boy blue come blow your horn…the cow’s in the meadow…the sheep’s in the corn…” This just raises more questions.

"Lavender's blue dilly dilly You are brave and your decisions are right, They have never known your fight, my baby. Don't worry about the darkness for your future is bright. If you're ever scared you close your eyes, You'll find me with you, oh honey, I promise everything will be alright Lavender’s blue, dilly dilly, You are never on your own. Rest peacefully and carefreely, my dear. Your dark days will also be gone."

Blue grabs one and places it in front of me. ​"Touch it," he says, looking at me. I glance down before returning my gaze to him. He nods in encouragement, and so I indulge him, placing a testing finger over the shape. I feel around enough to make out that it's the letter P. When I draw it closer, I see it a lot easier. ​"P?" I say in question, placing the letter back down. ​Blue cheers as if teaching a toddler the alphabet. He passes another and another, letting me list off the letters until the task takes minimum effort. "So I know my ABCs..."

I was caught off guard as the kids ignored Rem’s Alpha voice and bounded over to him with excitement and no regard for their lives, apparently! The youngest grabbed Rem’s hair and held it up for the others to see. “I told you it was blue! It was dark last night, but I knew it!” He said beaming with a bright smile. The eldest kid folded his arms and scoffed, “it’s not natural! He obviously dyed it!” “Why would he kill his hair?” The younger asked, confused, still holding Rem’s hair as he inspected it for ‘death’. “No, no,” the middle-aged one chimed in, “it means to make it a different colour! Not that sort of died!”

Tarnished and wooden is this house, Old and rickety, the yard, sodden with black mud that sticks and itches like lice, dark and smelly, yet the sky is blue, pale blue, it is ours, ours, ours. Strife hath no shade and shame no tinge. Anger is crismon, and green is fun, but the sky is blue, pale blue, and it is ours, ours, ours, We make certain that the constellations are ours. Ours. Ours—Amanda.

She hands the bag to me and I open it to see a black box with red ribbon on it. "What is it?" I ask her. "It's for you." Alex says. "Open it." Aurora says. I look at Aunt Sara for her opinion and she shrugs. I open the box and see a pair of loubotin heels. It is of black colour with gemstones adjourning it and a red massive bow at the ankle that will totally go with the dress I bought. It is the most dazzling pair heels have ever seen. I close the box and look at Alex.

"Mom's lullaby right?" "Do you know the words?" "Mmmm... no I don't remember." "It's called 'Lavender's Blue.' " He cleared his throat and sang the first verse, the only one he could recall: Lavender's blue, dilly dilly, lavender's green, When I am king, dilly, dilly, you shall be queen. Who told you so, dilly, dilly, who told you so? 'Twas my own heart, dilly, dilly, that told me so.

Then I make my way upstairs to Blue’s room, where she is playing with her dolls. “Wee!” She moves a doll around in the air, pretending like it can fly. I stand there for a few seconds, watching her with my head by the door frame until she notices me. She stops, and a small frown forms on my face. “Why stopping? You haven’t gotten her to Princess Land yet,” I say, shutting the door behind me. Then I sit on the floor with her. “Who is this?” I ask, pointing at a doll. “That is Lana’s friend, Ruth, waiting for her,” she says.
