Song: “If You’d Like to Read a Book” (Tune: “If You’re Happy and You Know It”)
If you’d like to read a book, clap your hands. (clap, clap)
If you’d like to read a book, clap your hands. (clap, clap)
If you’d like to read a book, listen up and take a look. (mime opening a book)
If you’d like to read a book, clap your hands. (clap, clap)
Additional verses:
Stomp your feet
Spin around
Sit down

Book: Hooray for Books! by Brian Won
Flannel: “The Library Cheer” by Brod Bagert
During the refrain, have the kids pat their legs and join in saying the words.
Books are good!
Books are great!
I want books!
I WILL NOT WAIT!
Bird books.
Bug books,
Bear books too.
Words and pictures through and through.
Books are good!
Books are great!
I want books!
I WILL NOT WAIT!
Books in color.
Black and white.
Skinny books.
Fat books.
Day and night.
Books are good!
Books are great!
I want books!
I WILL NOT WAIT!
Sad books,
Glad books,
Funny books too.
Books for me and books for you.
Books are good!
Books are great!
I want books!
I WILL NOT WAIT!
