Hello, hat and mittens.

Hello, boots and coat.

When you read, point to the items mentioned in the story.

Then describe how each item keeps the child warm.
Talk about what your child wears to stay warm.
It’s time to play outside.
And then . . .

Good-bye, hat and mittens.

Good-bye, boots and coat.
It’s time to play inside again.

Baby sees me!

As you read, help your baby clap, clap, clap. On the words wheee
and wooo, stretch your baby’s hands out wide. Personalize the
poem by using your baby’s name instead of baby.

Three sheep stretch

up high and yawn.
Read the story several times, then talk about what the
different sheep are doing. Make connections between
the sheep’s bedtime routine and your child’s routine.
Six sheep put their jammies on.
Nine sheep wash
and brush their teeth.
Then ten sheep snuggle.
Soon they’ll be asleep.

Blue Bunny
Poem and Art by Nancy Cote

Blue bunny rabbit

With eyes so bright
Stays awake
All through the night,
Quietly, without a peep,
Watching as I fall asleep.

Point to the blue bunny as you read the poem. When you
finish reading, talk about the other toys in this room.
Are any of them asleep, too? What else do you see?
 Bye-bye
for now!
