7. Little Mousie Brown
Little Mousie Brown
Climbed up the big, white candlestick
And couldn't get back down.
So she called to her Grandma
"Grandma! Grandma!"
But Grandma was not around,
So she curled into a little ball and rolled herself back down
Yes she curled into a little ball and rolled herself right down!
Little Mousie Brown

9. To the tune: Do Your Ears Hang Low
Put your hands up high,
Put your hands down low,
Put your hands in the middle,
And wiggle just so.
Put your elbows in front,
Put your elbows in back,
Put your elbows to the side and
QUACK, QUACK, QUACK!
Put Your Hands Up High

10. Flannel: Five Little Penguins
Five little penguins playing in the snow,
Slipping and sliding to and fro.
One looked up and yelled “Oh no!”
“I see a great big ball of snow!”
Rolling down the hill it stopped with a splat,
All that’s left is a fuzzy hat.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1…
Five big snowballs wearing fuzzy hats,
Rolled back home dressed just like that!

You put the oil in the pot.
And you let get hot.
You put the popcorn in.
And you start to grin.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, sizzle….POP!
