Open the Book

Open the book, close the book,

Give a little clap.

Open the book, close the book,

Now lay it in your lap.

Here Is My Book

Here is my book,                     (hold hands together as if a book, then open)

I open it wide,

To see all the pictures,

that are inside.

If You're Happy and You Know It

If you're happy and you know it clap your hands…Stomp your feet…Read a book…

Five Little Books (Flannel)

Five little books, sitting on a shelf.

Look inside, and see a little elf.

Four little books, all in a row.

Look inside, see it start to snow.

Three little books, sitting on the shelf.

Can you take one and read it for yourself?

Two little books, left on the pile.

Find one now and read it with a smile!

One little book, all that is there.

Found itself a reader who is happy to share.

Story Time

I stretch my fingers way up high, until they almost reach the sky.

Then I lay them in my lap you see, when it's Story Time at the library

(or when listening to stories at the Library).

Library Hokey Pokey

You put your books right in

You check your books right out

You put your books right in

And you shake it all about.

You do the "Hokey Pokey"

And you turn yourself around

That's what it's all about.
