Martin Waddell Storytime

A favorite book I used to read to my children--Owl Babies...so I just had to share it and other books by Martin Waddell.

Books

The Super Hungry Dinosaur


Owl Babies

Songs/Rhymes/Flannel Board

Din-o-saur!
(Tune: Five Little Ducks)

1 little dinosaur went out to play
On a bright and sunny day
He had such e-mor-mus fun
He called another dinosaur to come:
"Din-o-saur!"

2 little dinosaurs went out to play
On a bright and sunny day
They had such e-nor-mus fun
They called another dinosaur to come:
"Din-o-saur!"

Continue counting up through 5.

Last verse (spoken)
But another dinosaur didn't come.
Instead they heard their mommies calling
"Dinner!"
5 little dinosaurs went home to eat!

Dinosaurs All Around (adapted from PreschoolExpress)
(Tune: If you’re happy and you know it)

There are dinosaurs stomping, stomping all around
There are dinosaurs stomping, stomping all around
There are dinosaurs all around, stomping round and round
There are dinosaurs stomping, stomping all around.

There are dinosaurs flying, flying all around x2
There are dinosaurs all around, flying round and round.

There are dinosaurs swimming, swimming all around x2
There are dinosaurs all around, swimming round and round.

There are dinosaurs eating, eating all around x2

There are dinosaurs all around, eating round and round.

Dinosaur Stomp
(Tune: Row, row, row your boat)
Stomp, stomp, stomp around
On your great big feet!
Swish your tail and turn around
Now let's take a seat!


Five Little Owls
Five little owls learning to say, “Who”.
They flap their wings and then say ___________. 
(words that rhyme with who--shoe, zoo, glue, blue)
Mama owl cried, “No, no, not _____________!”
“Please, oh, please say ‘Who, who-who’!”
