Book: The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear by Don and Audrey Wood
Fingerplay: “Little Mousie Brown”
Up the tall white candlestick went little Mousie Brown,
But when she got up to the top, she could not get back down.
She called for Mama, “Mama, Mama!”
But Mama was in town,
So she called for Papa, “Papa, Papa!”
But Papa wasn’t around,
So little Mousie curled right up and rolled right down!

Fingerplay: “Quiet Mouse”
Here’s a quiet little mouse (show thumb)
Living in a quiet little house (hide thumb in fist)
When all was quiet as could be OUT popped she! (pop out thumb)
Squeak!

Scarf Song: “We Wave Our Scarves Together”
We wave our scarves together,
We wave our scarves together,
We wave our scarves together
Because it’s fun to do.
Wave them up high,
Wave them down low,
Wave them in the middle
Because it’s fun to do.
