It had songs like Spot (I've got something that you haven't got, it's a little puppy and I call him Spot), Jumbo Elephant, Mr. Jack-o-lantern, Washington and Lincoln, Bunny Fluffy Bunny, The Postman, and the Kerchoo song to name but a few. It has the most gorgeous color pictures too.
Well, my Missionary Mom friends had a conversation about those famous little church mice, Casper, Jasper and Pennywhistle. I knew I had this in my files and I looked and looked. Finally I found my copy. It was so old and faded that I decided to retype it. Here it is for your enjoyment. It is all about Reverence in the Chapel. After the story you could really have a great discussion about what Reverence really is.
I also found a great poem about a mouse riding to church in your pocket from the Friend in 1996. It is really cute.
WHAT IF.......? by DaLee C. James, Friend, Sep. 1996
If a mouse could ride to church
In your pocket on this day,
What might he tell his family
That he heard you do or say?
Would he tell them you were reverent,
And you listened to your teacher?
Or would he say he’d never seen
Such a noisy creature?
Would he tell them how he loved the songs
You sang so sweet and clear?
Or would he groan from all the talking
That entered in his ear?
Could he take a little snooze
As you walked nice and tall?
Or would he scream with panic
As you galloped down the hall?
Would the little mouse get seasick
From the tipping of your chair?
Or would he feel safe and cozy
As you quietly sat there?
Would the chapel be a reverent place?
The sacrament the same?
Now tell me, would the little mouse
Be really glad he came?
If a mouse would ride to church
in your pocket on this day,
What might he tell his family
That he heard you do or say?
This is another great link for pictures for primary.

Is there another way to get the Casper Jasper and Penny Whistle song from you? The link you have posted requires that I buy a jazzed-up version of Adobe Acrobat which I don't need and can't afford. My 92 year-old mother, who used to be our Primary chorister and sang this all the time has asked me to find it for her. Thanks.
Hi Cindy-
can you post the Casper Jasper and Penny Whistle song?
I can’t get the Adobe link to open and I’ve had several people try as well. Can you post pictures of it or send them to me? I wanted to have my daughter give this as a talk on Sunday
I can't find this
I loved Casper jasper and Penny whistle. I can't see it here
I found this post and was disappointed that the link to the script no longer worked. I reached out to a Facebook group and was able to find a photographed copy of the script and music. I decided to digitize it and include it here in case any one else finds this blog and wants the music: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1a5RdoauSQB-UVelqSM-I6CqK1Qm6Px0s/view?usp=sharing
