Publisher New York : Bowker,

2)Five Little
Monkeys (one of the books mentioned
very active song)
3)Way Down Yonder
4)One, Two,
Buckle
My Shoe (I just played this
one day, and
the kids started doing their own
movements,
because
they knew the Nursery Rhyme)
5)How Much is
That Doggie? (Great for Cool Down)
6)Mr. Mirror
