Book: A Big Surprise for Little Card by Charise Mericle Harper
Flannel board activity: “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: “If you’re happy and you know it read a book”
“If you’re happy and you know it read a book (read a book)
If you’re happy and you know it read a book (read a book)
If you’re happy and you know and you really want to show it
If you’re happy and you know it read a book (read a book)
Alternate verses: turn the page, check out some books
Book: Lola at the Library by Anna McQuinn
Book: Chicken Story Time by Sandy Asher
Book (if time): This is Not a Picture Book! by Sergio Ruzzier
Song: “Read, Read, Read a Book” (Tune: Row, Row, Row Your Boat)
Read, read, read a book,
Travel anywhere,
Worldwide, you decide,
A book will take you there.
Read, read, read a book,
Beginning to the end,
What a way to spend the day,
A book’s a special friend!
Craft: Pom pom book marks with googly eyes
