There are (at least?) two more rolls in the series, both beautifully illustrated with good performances. Not only are some of the words different from those I learnt as a kid, but also some of the tunes. "Baa Baa Black Sheep" (not to be confused with "Hello Dolly" :>) has a rather nice tune that harmonises with the well-known melody.
