Book: Little Pea by Amy Krouse Rosenthal, illustrated by Jen Corace
Fingerplay: Five Little Peas
Five little peas in a pea pod pressed.
(fold hands in front of you)
1 grew, 2 grew and so did all the rest
(pull one set of fingers out of the fist at a time)
They grew and they grew
(slowly pull hands apart)
And they did not stop
(stretch arms as far apart as possible)
Until one day, that pod went, Pop!
(Clap hands loudly)

Take an apple,
Put it in the pot.
Stir it, stir it, stir it a lot.
Take it out now.
What will it be?
The prettiest RED you ever did see!
