Book: Moose by Aaron Carr
Song: “In the Woods” (Tune: “The Wheels on the Bus”)
The moose in the woods go trot trot trot,
Trot trot trot, trot trot trot.
The moose in the woods go trot trot trot
All day long.
Additional verses:
The wolves . . . go aw-ooo
The rabbits . . . go hop
The badgers . . . go dig
The owls . . . go flap

Song: “Sleeping Bag Chant” – Carole Peterson: H.U.M. All Year Long
Flannel: “Where is the Moose?” (hide a moose behind shapes of different colors)
Song: “There Was a Great Big Moose!” (repeat-after-me)
There was a great big moose!
He liked to drink a lot of juice.
Chorus:
Singin’ oh way oh
Way oh way oh way oh way oh
Way oh way oh
Way oh way oh way oh way oh
(Repeat each verse, then chorus.)
The moose’s name was Fred.
He liked to drink his juice in bed.
He drank his juice with care,
but he spilled some in his hair.
Now he’s a sticky moose
Because he’s all covered in juice!
Rhyme: “Mr. Moose”
Mr. Moose is very tall, (put hands to head for antlers)
His antlers touch the sky. (hand high up in the air)
They make a real good resting place (put hands out to sides)
For birdies passing by. (flap arms like wings)
