(Starred Review) A Wise Old Owl
A wise old owl
Two Little Dicky Birds
Two little dicky birds
Lived in an oak, Sitting on a wall, Hold up two fingers
The more he saw, One named Peter, one named Paul.
The less he spoke. Fly away Peter, fly away Paul. Hide one finger, then the other
The less he spoke, Come back Peter, come back Paul! Both fingers reappear
The more he heard.
Why can’t we all be Five Little Ducks
Like that wise old bird? Five little ducks went out one day, Hold up five fingers
Over the hills and far away. Wave hand as if going up and down a hill
Mother Duck said, “Quack, quack, quack, quack,”
Open and close hands in front of mouth
But only four little ducks came back. Hold up four fingers
Repeat verse counting down from four to zero
Roses are Red
Last verse:
Roses are red, Mother Duck went out one day,
Violets are blue, Over the hills and far away.
Sugar is sweet, Mother Duck said,
And so are you! “Quack, quack, quack, quack,”
And five little ducks came wandering back.
