How many books are on your shelf?

For this rhyme, the books are the props!








How many books are on your shelf?
by Shawn Wolf
(give the clue, then ask the kids if they know what book it might be)

Five favorite books sitting on a shelf,
It wouldn’t be right to keep them all to myself.
I’ll take one down and give you a book,
About a big red dog. Won’t you take a look? (Clifford)

Four favorite books sitting on a shelf,
It wouldn’t be right to keep them all to myself.
I’ll take one down and give you a book,
About a cat in a hat. Won’t you take a look? (seuss)

Three favorite books sitting on a shelf,
It wouldn’t be right to keep them all to myself.
I’ll take one down and give you a book,
About letters in a tree. Won’t you take a look? (chicka)

Two favorite books sitting on a shelf,
It wouldn’t be right to keep them all to myself.
I’ll take one down and give you a book,
About a hungry caterpillar. Won’t you take a look? (carle)

One favorite books sitting on a shelf,
It wouldn’t be right to keep it to myself.
I’ll take it down and give it to you,
It’s about a room and the moon. Now we’re all through. (goodnight moon)
