Book: Big Frog Can’t Fit In by Mo Willems

Flannel: “Five Green and Speckled Frogs”
Five green and speckled frogs
Sitting on a hollow log
Eating the most delicious bugs, yum, yum
One jumped into the pool
Where it was nice and cool
Now there are four green, speckled frogs, ribbit, ribbit

If you’re a frog and you know it jump up and down.
If you’re a frog and you know it jump up and down.

If you’re a frog and you know it jump up and down!

Additional verses: Catch a fly, Make puffy cheeks, Hop into your seat, Say “ribbit”
