Good morning and welcome back to story time! I’m Miss Sharon. It was nice taking some time off to get ready for Summer Reading but it’s also nice to be back with you doing story time! Today’s books are all about Pig the Pug.

 

Song: The More We Get Together

The more we get together, together, together,
the more we get together, the happier we’ll be.
Cause your friends are my friends,
and my friends are your friends,
the more we get together the happier we’ll be!

Song: Oh Where, Oh Where, Has My Little Dog Gone?

Oh, where, oh, where
Has my little dog gone?
Oh, where, oh, where
Can he be?

With his ears cut short
And his tail cut long,
Oh, where, oh, where
Can he be?

Oh where, oh where
Has my little dog gone?
Oh, where, oh, where
Can he be?

Song: The Wheels on the Bus

The wheels on the bus go Round and Round,
Round and round,
Round and round.
The wheels on the bus go Round and Round,
all through the town.
    (Roll hands around each other)

The wipers on the bus go Swish, swish, swish;
Swish, swish, swish;
Swish, swish, swish.
The wipers on the bus go Swish, swish, swish,
all through the town.
    (“Swish” hands in front of you like windshield wipers)

The horn on the bus goes Beep, beep, beep;
Beep, beep, beep;
Beep, beep, beep.
The horn on the bus goes Beep, beep, beep,
all through the town.
    (Slap palm in front of you like honking a horn)

The doors on the bus go open and shut;
Open and shut;
Open and shut.
The doors on the bus go open and shut;
all through the town.
    (Push hands back and forth in front of you)

The Driver on the bus says “Move on back,
move on back, move on back;”
The Driver on the bus says “Move on back”,
all through the town.
    (Point thumb over your shoulder)

The babies on the bus says “Wah, wah, wah;
Wah, wah, wah;
Wah, wah, wah”.
The babies on the bus says “Wah, wah, wah”,
all through the town.
    (Rub fists in front of eyes)

The mommies on the bus says “Shh, shh, shh;
Shush, shush, shush;
Shush, shush, shush.”
The mommies on the bus says “Shh, shh, shh”
all through the town.
    (Hold index finger in front of mouth as if saying shhh)

Skinnamarinky dinky-dink (Put your left elbow in right hand, wave.)
Skinnamarinky Doo (Right elbow in left hand, wave.)
I (Point to eye.)
Love (Cross your arms over your heart.)
You! (Point to audience.)
Skinnamarinky dinky-dink (Left elbow in right hand.)
Skinnamarinky Doo (Right elbow in left hand, wave.)
I (Point to your eye.)
Love (Cross arms in front of heart.)
You! (Point to audience.)
I love you in the morning (Cross arms above your head.)
And in the afternoon (Cross arms around your chest.)
I love you in the evening (Cross around your tummy.)
And underneath the moon! (Cross arms above head again.)
Skinnamarinky dinky-dink (Left arm in right hand, wave.)
Skinnamarinky doo (Right arm in left hand, wave.)
I (Point to your eye.)
Love (Cross arms in front of heart.)
You (Point to audience.)
Too (Show two fingers.)
Boo boop we doo! (Wave and kiss!)
