From Storytime

Duck, duck, dinosaur by K. George

When Mama Duck's eggs hatch, revealing Feather, Flap, and Spike she feels like the luckiest duck in the pond.

IF YOU'RE HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT

If you're happy and you know it, flap your wings.

If you're happy and you know it, and you really want to show it

If you're happy and you know it, flap your wings.

(repeat with: quack quack, waddle waddle, and other ducky actions)

TWO LITTLE DUCKS

Two little ducks, quacking on a hill (hold up one finger on each hand)

One named Jack, and the other named Jill (one finger is Jack, the other Jill)

Fly away Jack! Fly away Jill! Come back Jack! Come back Jill!

(one hand flies behind your back, then the other, and then they come back one at a time)

Swim, duck, swim! by Susan Lurie

A photographic tale about Duckling the reluctant swimmer finds him resenting the pressure exerted by his patient Mama and Papa Duck, preferring to stay dry and take a nap before eventually deciding to join his siblings in the pond.

FIVE LITTLE DUCKS

Five little ducks went out to play, over the hills and far away

Mother duck said, "Quack, Quack, Quack, Quack." But only four little ducks came back.

(repeat, counting down, until all the ducks are gone)

No little ducks went out to play, over the hills and far away (say this part very sadly)

Mother duck said, "QUACK, QUACK, QUACK, QUACK!" And all of the baby ducks came back.

DUCKLINGS, DUCKLINGS

Duckling, duckling, turn around

Duckling, duckling, touch the ground

Duckling, duckling, reach your wings wide

Duckling, duckling, fly so high

Duckling, duckling, shake those feathers

Duckling, duckling, quack together

Duckling, duckling, kick those feet

Duckling, duckling, sit down in your seat

Quack and count by Keith Baker

Seven ducklings take a rhyming look at addition.
