Big Appetites!

Opening Song:  Bendable, Stretchable by Georgiana Stewart

Opening Rhyme:  Dance Your Fingers

Dance your fingers up, dance your fingers down, dance your fingers to the side, dance them round and round.

Dance them on your shoulders, dance them on your head, dance them on your belly, now put them to bed.

Book:  The Incredible Boy Eating Boy by Oliver Jeffers

Rhyme:  Chocolate Rhyme:

Chocolate, chocolate tastes so sweet, how much chocolate can I eat?

Chocolate pudding, chocolate chips, chocolate ice cream double-dips

Chocolate candy, chocolate bars, chocolate cookies in a cookie jar

Chocolate syrup, chocolate drops, chocolate in my lollipops

Chocolate cream pie, chocolate shake.

Too much chocolate means a tummy ache!

Book:  I’m the Biggest Thing in the Ocean by Kevin Sherry

Rhyme:  Caught a Million Fish

Caught a million fish, what’ll I do? (3x)

I’ll bring them home to show you

Alligator ate some, what’ll I do? (3x)

I’ll bring the rest to show you.

Cat ate some, raccoon ate some, what else could eat some?

Three fish left, what’ll I do? (3x)

I’ll have to tell the tale to you.

Book:  Harry Hungry by Steven Salerno

Rhyme:  Great Big Cookie

I am a great big cookie, chocolately and round

Filled with lots of chocolate chips, the best that can be found.

I am a great big cookie, take a bite of me.

Tasty, sweet, delicious.  I’m oh so yummy.

I was a great big cookie, the very best around.

Now there’s nothing left of me, just crumbs upon the ground.

Rhyme:  3 Cookies

A great big cookie, a medium-sized cookie, a teeny-tiny cookie I see

Let’s count them—1, 2, 3!

Book:  Little Pea by Amy Krouse Rosenthal

Closing Song:  Thank You Clap

My hands say thank you with a clap, clap, clap

My feet say thank you with a tap, tap, tap

Clap, clap, clap, tap, tap, tap

And now we say goodbye!
