Puppet Rhyme: “There’s Something in the Nighttime”
There’s something in the nighttime that I can’t really see.
There’s something in the nighttime, now what can it be?
Whoo, Whoo. Hear it’s funny sound? Whoo, Whoo. An Owl is what I found!
Repeat with other nighttime animals (cat, mouse, possum, skunk, bat, etc.)
