Snip, Snap Alligators

Oh, my we had a wonderful time at Busy Hands and Feet Story Time this week. All about alligators and crocodiles. Several great books and rhymes are available on this favorite story time subject. The books I read were:

Mama Don't Allow by Thatcher Hurd is fun and the kids can sing the song afterwards.

A Frog in the Bog is great for early literacy skills such as rhyming and sequencing.

One of my all time favorite rhymes is The Lady with the Alligator Purse. Enjoy this rhyming verse when ever you need a little nonsense.

Miss Lucy had a baby

She named him Tiny Tim

She put him in the bath tub

To see if he could swim
He drank up all the water

He ate up all the soap

He tried to eat the bathtub

But it wouldn't go down his throat
Miss Lucy called the Doctor

Miss Lucy called the Nurse

Miss Lucy called the LadyWith the Alligator Purse
“Mumps!” said the Doctor

“Measles!” said the Nurse

“Nothing!” said the LadyWith the Alligator Purse
Penicillin said the Doctor
Castor Oil said the Nurse
Pizza said the LadyWith the Alligator Purse.
Out went the Doctor

Out went the Nurse

Out went the LadyWith the Alligator Purse.

Hope to see you at our next Busy Hands and Feet Story Time on February 4th at 10:30. Even though the weather feels like Spring the theme will be Winter ---Br-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r. Diana
