Song: “These Are My Glasses” – Laurie Berkner: Whaddaya Think of That?
These are my glasses, this is my book.
I put on my glasses and open up the book.
Now I read, read, read,
And I look, look, look.
I put down my glasses and
Whoop! Close up the book!

Song: “I’m a Little Kitty Cat” (Tune: “I’m a Little Teapot”)
I’m a little kitty cat,
Nice and sweet.
Here are my whiskers,
And here are my feet.
When I go out hunting,
Mice beware,
Or you might just have a scare!
