Rhyme: Away Up High
Away up high in the apple tree (lift baby)
I saw a little baby smiling at me
I shook that tree as hard as I could (shake gently)
Down came the baby (bring down)

Song (Recording) with sign language: “These Are My Glasses” – Laurie Berkner: Whaddaya Think of That?

Felt Rhyme: Five Little Books
Five little books, sitting in pile.
Look inside, and see a crocodile.
Four little books, all in a pile.
All standing straight in a single file.
Three little books, sitting on the shelf.
Can you take one and read it for yourself?
Two little books, left on the pile.
Find one now and read it with a smile!
One little book, all that is there.
Found itself a reader who is happy to share.

Song: “Mama’s Little Baby” (Tune: “Shortnin’ Bread”)
Mama’s little baby loves bouncin’, bouncin’
Mama’s little baby loves bouncin’ round.
Mama’s little baby loves bouncin’, bouncin’
Mama’s little baby loves bouncin’ round.

Lean to the left, lean to the right,
Now hug that baby nice and tight.
Lean to the left, lean to the right,
Now hug that baby nice and tight!
