Baby Bunny
Sings Along
#Z &JMFFO 4QJOFMMJ t "SU CZ 3PTF .BSZ #FSMJO
Baby Bunny likes jingly keys.
Reading this story may inspire you to take out some
pots and wooden spoons or toys that rattle. Enjoy playing
and singing along with your little one.
And wind chimes swinging in the breeze.
And pots that clank. And spoons that clink.
And water gurgling in the sink.
To her, each one’s a happy song.
She claps her hands and sings along.

Say hello to little kitty.
Hear her purr? She’s soft and pretty.
Point to the animals as you read the poem. Then talk about
your pets. If you don’t have pets, talk about the animals
you see in your neighborhood.
Say hello to little pup.
Toss his ball. See him jump up!

Caleb’s basket is filled with toys and blocks.
After you read the story, find a basket for your child. Encourage him
to put things into the basket and take them out again.
In the laundry basket are shirts and socks.
Caleb’s favorite basket is soft and red.
That’s because it’s Kitty’s bed.
