Fifth Storytime of 2007

Theme:
FISH!

Books I read:

Ugly Fish by Kara LaReau
Big Al by Andrew Clements
Fish Wish by Bob Barner


Songs we sang:


I'm a Little Fishy(I'm a Little Teapot)

I'm a little fishy, I can swim.
Here is my tail, Here is my fin.
When I want to have fun with my friend,
I wiggle my tail and dive right in.

Caught a Million Fish (Tune: Jimmy Crack Corn)

Caught a million fish, What'll I do?
Caught a million fish, What'll I do?
Caught a million fish, What'll I do? I
'll bring them home to you!

Alligator ate some, What'll I do?
Alligator ate some, What'll I do?
Alligator ate some, What'll I do?
I'll bring the rest to you!

(Repeat the second verse, inserting the phrases below.)
Raccoons ate some, what'll I do?.... Hungry cat ate some, what'll I do?....

Three fish left, What'll I do?
Three fish left, What'll I do?
Three fish left, What'll I do?
I'll tell the tale to you!



And a Mother Goose rhyme/finger play:

Fishy Fishy

Fishy, fishy, in the brook
Daddy caught him with a hook
Momma fried him in a pan
And baby ate him like a man.

This is one of my fave rhymes. My Dad and I used to say it a lot when I was a kid. We found it in World Books Childcraft in one of the 1970's edition. You can check it out the new edition at the library!
