Tunnel
Here’s a tunnel
Time
to go through.
Something will be
over you.
In you go,
soon out you’ll be.
Through the tunnel
one, two, three!
Tip » Tots love hidey-holes. No tunnel? A blanket
draped over a chair also offers peekaboo fun while
reinforcing concepts “over,” “in,” “through,” and “out.”

STORY
itchen
Shiny silver lids go
clang, clang, clang.
Concert
Two wooden spoons go
bang, bang, bang.
Flat baking sheets go
pang, pang, pang.
Pawpaw twirled me around, and we
sang, sang, sang!
Tip » Read enthusiastically, clapping your hands on the
“clangs” and “bangs.” On later readings, let your child
bang along with lids and spoons.

Tip » After you and your child find these
objects, talk about what else you see. Ask your
toddler what the animals might be doing.

Nose and Toes
Nose and Toes
I got your nose!
I got your toes!
Where’d they go,
Do you suppose?
A nose and toes
Can’t go too far.
Let’s check the mirror . . .
There they are!
Tip » The first time you play this game, be alert to your
baby’s response. She may think you’ve really taken her
nose. Keep a big smile and reassure her quickly. Next
time, she’ll get the joke. After that, she’ll think it’s funny!
Look!
Look!

STORY Look!
A crocus peeks out of the soil.
Peekaboo, crocus! I see you growing.
The bus peeks around the corner.
Peekaboo, bus! I see you coming.
A face peeks from behind a tree.
Peekaboo, puppy! I see you peeking at me!
Tip » Peekaboo is often a baby’s first game and can
be a favorite for several years. Enjoy reading the story
together, then playing peekaboo with your child.
