Where's Tumpty?  by Polly Dunbar

A-Hunting We Will Go
A-hunting we will go,
A-hunting we will go,
We'll catch a fox and put him in a box,
And then we'll let him go.

...catch a bear and comb his hair...
...catch a mouse and put him in a house...
...catch a goat and put him in a boat...
...catch a whale and tickle his tail...

Balls At Storytime
The balls at storytime bounce up and down,
Up and down, up and down…
The balls at storytime bounce up and down all through the day

The balls at storytime bounce way up high…
The balls at storytime bounce way down low…
The balls at storytime bounce all around…

Boxes
A little box, a bigger box,
A great big box I see.
Let's see if we can count them:
One, two, three!

Boxes, Boxes Everywhere
Boxes, boxes everywhere
Some are long and some are square
Some are short and some are tall
Some so big, inside I crawl
