From Storytime
While taking a walk with Mouse, Bear meets many other friends and sees colors everywhere.
BLUEBERRY ROLL
Five little blueberries sitting in a bowl
One fell out and started to… ROLL!
It bounced off the table and rolled under my seat
How many blueberries are left to eat?
TWO LITTLE BLUEBIRDS
Two little bluebirds sat on a hill,
One named Jack and one named Jill.
Fly away, Jack; fly away, Jill,
Come back, Jack; come back, Jill.

A small blue truck finds his way out of a jam, with a little help from his friends.
BLUE CAR (Variation on Brown Bear, Brown Bear)
[Blue Car, Blue Car] what do you see? I see an [orange plane] looking at me.
[Orange Plane, Orange Plane] what do you see? [repeat with red ship, purple balloon, brown train, green taxi]
For the final verse, end with - I see my passengers looking at me!
