Bouncy Mouse
Boing, boing, squeak. Boing, boing, squeak
A bouncing mouse is in my house. He's been there for a week.
He came from out of nowhere, and quickly settled in.
I'm thankful that he came alone. I heard he had a twin.
He bounces in the kitchen. He bounces in the den.
He bounces in the living room. Look, there he goes again.
That mouse just keeps on bouncing every minute of the day.
He bouncy, bouncy, bounces But he does not bounce away.
The More We Read Together [Tune: The More We Get Together]
The more we read together, together, together,
The more we read together, the better it is!
'Cause reading and singing and talking together,
Is how you learn the six skills for reading by six.
