Book: How Big is a Pig? by Claire Beaton
Song/Flannel: “Five pigs so squeaky clean”
Five pigs so squeaky clean
Cleanest you’ve ever seen
Wanted to go outside and play
Oink! Oink!
One jumped into the mud
Landed with a big THUD
Then there were four clean squeaky pigs. (3, 2, 1, 0)

Song: “The Tail of a Pig” (Tune: “The Wheels on the Bus”)
The tail of a pig curls round and round, round and round, round and round.(circle finger round and round)
The tail of a pig curls round and round
All through the mud.
Additional verses:
The mouth of a pig goes oink, oink, oink… All through the mud. (put hand in front of mouth like a snout)
The snout of a pig goes root, root, root… All through the mud. (act with snout and hands like you are rooting through the mud, explain to kids what rooting means!)
The hooves of a pig go run, run, run… All through the mud. (make a running motion with hands)
The ears of a pig go twitch, twitch, twitch… All through the mud. (place hands near ears and wave)

Book: What This Story Needs is a Pig in a Wig by Emma J. Viljan
Song: “I’m a Little Piggy” (Tune: “I’m a Little Teapot”)
I’m a little piggy
Short and stout (bend up and down)
Here are my ears (point to ears)
And here is my snout (point to nose)
When I see the yummy food in my pail (put hand up over eyes like you are looking)
I oink, oink oink (oink!)
and wiggle my tail (wiggle your piggy tails!)
