The Queen of Hearts is an English nursery rhyme based on characters from playing cards. There are all the familiar faces: the King, Queen and Jack of Hearts. The Queen makes some tarts for the King, but they are quickly stolen by the knave. The King calls for the tarts, only to find them gone. He beats the Knave, who returns the tarts and promises he won't steal again. This lesson is suitable for five to seven-year-olds.
