Riding in My Stroller; What Do I See?
(Toddler flannel script)
I'm riding in my stroller.
What do I see?
Two friendly people who are waving at me!

I'm riding in my stroller.
What do I hear?
Trucks and cars honking right in my ear!

I'm riding in my stroller.
Who trots past?
A big, happy dog who is going so fast.

I'm riding in my stroller.
What do I do?
Kick, kick, kick, there goes my shoe.

I'm riding in my stroller,
Sleepy as can be.
Now my eyes are closing - it's nap time for me!
