Grumpy Storytime

We all thought spring was coming...then we got another week of snow...which made me grumpy--and thus--a Grumpy Storytime!

ABC Welcome

The Grumpy Little Cat (by Miss Sue at Library Village)

The Grumpy Little Cat
The Grumpy Little Cat
How do you think he got that way?
The Grumpy Little Cat

"NO" says the cat
"NO" says the cat
What do you think that cat will say?
"NO" says the cat

Let's hug that little cat
Let's hug that little cat
A hug a day keeps the grumps away
Let's hug that little cat

I used a clip art cat and made a separate smile piece to place over the frown

The happy little cat
The happy little cat
Turned that frown upside down

The happy little cat!

If You’re Ever Feeling Grumpy
(tune: Did You Ever See a Lassie)

If you’re ever feeling grumpy, so grumpy, so grumpy,
If you’re ever feeling grumpy,
Just stomp your feet.
Stomp this way and that way and this way and that way.
If you’re ever feeling grumpy just stomp your feet.

Stomping your feet might make you feel a little better...


If you’re ever feeling grumpy, so grumpy, so grumpy,
If you’re ever feeling grumpy,
Just flap your arms.
Flap this way and that way and this way and that way.
If you’re ever feeling grumpy just flap your arms.

Now you are really starting to feel better...

If you’re ever feeling grumpy, so grumpy, so grumpy,
If you’re ever feeling grumpy,
Just jump up and down.
Jump this way and that way and this way and that way.
If you’re ever feeling grumpy just jump up and down.

OK that was pretty fun...the grumps are starting to leave...one more thing

If you’re ever feeling grumpy, so grumpy, so grumpy,
If you’re ever feeling grumpy,
Just spin around.
Spin this way and that way and this way and that way.
If you’re ever feeling grumpy just spin around.

And fall down in a fit of giggles!
Hop, Hop, Stop!
