January

In January it's so nice
while slipping on the sliding ice
to sip hot chicken soup with rice
Sipping, once, sipping twice
sipping chicken soup with rice.
-By Maurice Sendak

Friendship

Sharing is friendship.
Moon and sun are best of friends.
They take turns to shine.
-By Elliott Bowe

Butterfly

Pretty butterfly
Fluttering its tiny wings
Floating in the air.

Flapping and swaying
Pretty butterfly dances
In the gentle breeze
-By Nudershada Cabanes


Bugs
(to the tune of "When the Saints Go Marching In")

Oh, when the bugs go marching in,

Oh, when the bugs go marching in,
Oh, how I'll see the ants and the beetles,
Oh, when the bugs go marching in.

Oh, when the bugs begin to crawl,

Oh, when the bugs begin to crawl,
Oh, how I'll see the roaches and termites,
Oh, when the bugs begin to crawl.

Oh, when the bugs come flying in,

Oh, when the bugs come flying in,
Oh, how I'll see the moths and mosquitoes,
Oh, when the bugs come flying in.

Oh, when the bugs begin to buzz,

Oh, when the bugs begin to buzz,
Oh, how I'll hear the bees and cicadas,
Oh, when the bugs begin to buzz.

Oh, when the bugs begin to leap,

Oh, when the bugs begin to leap,
Oh, how I'll see the fleas and the crickets,
Oh, when the bugs begin to leap!

Reading Rainbow

Butterfly in the sky 

I can go twice as high 
Take a look 
It's in a book 
A Reading Rainbow


I can go anywhere 

Friends to know 
And ways to grow 
A Reading Rainbow


I can be anything 

Take a look 
It's in a book 
A Reading Rainbow 
A Reading Rainbow
-Sung by Tina Fabrik



Won't You Be My Neighbor

It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood,
A beautiful day for a neighbor.
Would you be mine? 
Could you be mine?...

It's a neighborly day in this beauty wood,
A neighborly day for a beauty.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?...

I have always wanted to have a neighbor just like you.
I have always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.

So, let's make the most of this beautiful day.
Since we're together, we might as well say:
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Won't you be my neighbor?
Won't you please?
Won't you please?
Please, won't you be my neighbor?
-By Fred Rogers
