Puppet Show: The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle
The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Song: “If All the Raindrops” If all the raindrops
If all the raindrops
Were lemon drops and gumdrops
So what a rain that would be!

Standing outside with my mouth open wide
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!
If all the raindrops
Were lemon drops and gumdrops
Oh, what a rain that would be!
If all the snowflakes
Were candy bars and milkshakes
Oh, what a snow that would be!
Standing outside with my mouth open wide
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!
If all the snowflakes
Were candy bars and milkshakes
Oh, what a snow that would be!

Book: Slowly, Slowly, Slowly,” Said the Sloth by Eric Carle

Flannel:  “Five Sleepy Sloths”
Five sleepy sloths on the rainforest floor
One swam away and then there were four
Four sleepy sloths climbing up a tree
One stopped for fruit and then there were three
Three sleepy sloths with an upside-down view
One switched branches and then there were two
Two sleepy sloths in circles they spun
One climbed down and then there was one
One sleepy sloth missing everyone
Left to eat leaves and now there are none.
