Thompson Limited, of Toronto, Canada and Niagara Falls, USA. ("Play Songs" is illustrated with her own lovely drawings, rather than the silhouettes of her earlier books.) Her songs "Robin in the Rain" and "Who Is Coming on Christmas Night?" are included, with attribution, in "The New High Road of Song for Nursery Schools and Kindergartens" by Margaret I. Fletcher and Dorothy A. Millichamp, M.A., published by W.J. Gage Limited of Toronto, Canada in 1960. While studying Early Childhood Education at the Institute of Child Study in Toronto, I had the good fortune to have Margaret Fletcher as an instructor in her last year there before her retirement.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14883073309081885007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14930376.post-31427084751862985102017-06-09T23:38:23.679-05:002017-06-09T23:38:23.679-05:00I still have three of Claire Senior Burke's so...I still have three of Claire Senior Burke's songbooks for nursery schools and kindergartens, with her wonderful silhouette cut-out illustrations, from when I taught kindergarten in Oshawa (near Toronto) Canada in 1958-1960. I continued to use them for another 20 years in the private primary school I opened there and continued in Florida. Yesterday I pulled out those books and have been enjoying those delightful songs once again and remembering the children who loved to sing "Robin in the Rain" and so many more!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14883073309081885007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14930376.post-32831551726398274332016-11-15T16:52:47.054-05:002016-11-15T16:52:47.054-05:00Hi.

I am now 63 years old.<br />I am from Adelaide South Australia and we used to sing this in "infant" School which for me was probably around 1959/1960, when I was about 6 or 7. Of course at that age I didn't really become concerned about authorship. It somehow made its way to Australia.Jeff Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17756751535555441321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14930376.post-91665451321666734442014-12-17T09:44:07.321-05:002014-12-17T09:44:07.321-05:00When I found this out by accident, I was amazed.
