Book: Where’s the Unicorn? by Ingela Arrhenius

Rhyme: Pizza, pickle, pumpernickel
My little baby deserves a tickle! [tickle baby]
One for her nose, and one for her toes
And one for her belly where the hot dog goes!

Song: “Did You Ever See a Baby?”
Did you ever see a baby, a baby, a baby?
Did you ever see a baby go this way and that? (lean side to side)
Go this way and that way and this way and that way (lean front to back, side to side)
Did you ever see a baby go this way and that? (lean front to back)

Book: That’s Not My Dragon by Fiona Watt

Rhyme with puppets: Two Little Dragons
Two little dragons sitting on a hill,
One named Jack and one named Jill.
Fly away Jack, fly away Jill
Come back Jack, come back Jill!

Additional verses:
Two little dragons sitting in the grass, one named Slow, the other named Fast…
Two little dragons sitting on a wall. One named Big, the other named Small…
Two little dragons flying in the sky, one named Low, the other named High…

Song/Flannel: Five Little Unicorns
I saw five little unicorns – creatures from folklore.
I watched the blue one prance away and then there were four.

I saw four little unicorns resting by a tree
I watched the orange one prance away, and then there were three.

I saw three little unicorns, but as near to them I drew,
The green one pranced away, and then there were two.

I saw two little unicorns – I watched them run and run.
The pink one pranced away, and then there was one.

I saw a lonely yellow unicorn standing in the sun.
When I blinked my eyes, it pranced away, and then there were none!

Song: “Over in the Barnyard” (Tune: “Down by the Station”)
Over in the barnyard,
Early in the morning,
See the little baby chicks,
all in a row, (hold up five fingers of one hand and wiggle them)
See the busy farmer,
Scattering their breakfast, (scatter chicken feed with other hand)
Peck, peck, (hold your four fingers together and place your thumb below to form a beak and make pecking motions)
Cheep, cheep (open and close your beak)
Off they go!
