The frog

A little frog sat on a log
And said "nobody cares about me"
A duck came along
And said "you are wrong"
And gobbled him up for tea

Jimmy and James

Jimmy is a tadpole
A playful little bloke
James is twelve weeks older
And my, how he can croak!

The Tadpole

My Tail is shorter
My legs are longer
When I'm a frog
I'll be much stronger

The Wind
No matter if there's rain or sun
The wind can come to have some fun
It sometimes changes to a breeze
Or blows so hard it makes you sneeze

It blows my kite and swirls around
And makes the leaves come tumbling down
It spreads the seed of all the flowers
And huffs and puffs for hours and hours

Penguin Pete

I'm a penguin
My name is Pete
I live where it's cold
I don't like the heat

I play on the land
And swim in the sea
The worlds best fishermen
Just has to be me.

Little Pig

Little pig, your not very big
But my. Oh my , oh my!
You get yourself in such a mess
I'm sure I don't know why

Mouse in the House

There's a mouse in the house
I know it is there
When it shuffles about
It gives me a scare
I really Can't stand it
It gives me a fright
When it scampers about
In the darkness of night

Homes
I might have lived inside a shell
If I had been a snail

Or in a great, wide tossing sea
If I had been a whale

Or in a noisy, busy hive
If I had been a bee

Or a bunny in a burrow
Eating lettuce for my tea

I might have had a kennel home
If I had been a dog

Or a long down in a creek-bed
If I had been a frog

I might have been a tiny bird
And lived inside a nest

But oh ! I'm glad I'm just a child
I think my home is best

Read Read Read
Read, read, Read!
The more you read
The more you know
The more you know
The more you grow
So read, read, read!

Welcome Butterfly
Small white egg upon a leaf
The hours hurry by,
Caterpillar eat our fill
Or you will surely die
Sleepy now and very fat
On a twig you lie
Cosy in you soft cocoon
Now welcome, butterfly

Caterpillar

Fuzzy wuzzy caterpillar
Crawling all about
Would you b a real good friend
And help a fellow out?
My shoes get scuffed and dirty
When I go out to play
So slide yourself across my
Shows and brush the dirt away

My Hat

What do you suppose?
A bee sat on nose
Then what do you think?
He gave me a wink
And said "I beg your pardon,
I thought you were the garden."

The wise old owl

A wise old owl
Sat on a oak
the more he heard
the less he spoke
the less he spoke
the more he heard
why aren't we all
like that old bird?

Safety rhyme

Stop says the red light
Go says green
Be careful says the amber which
Shines in between.

My shadow
I have a little shadow
The goes about with me
And what can be the use of it
Is more then I can see
It is very, very like me
From its heels to its hair
And I see it jump before me
When I jump in the air
