If You Give a Moose a Muffin

This hungry traveler fixes loose buttons, makes sock puppets, paints scenery, and scares himself so much that he falls flat on the ground!

In Laura Numeroff's sequel to IF YOU GIVE A MOUSE A COOKIE, it's fun to see how a BIG animal visitor wreaks havoc!

We'll rhyme and fingerplay this old Boy Scout song originally titled "Da Moose," which I've reworked back into proper pronunciation as "The Moose." We'll also spare the little ones the final verse in which the moose dies! Done in call-and-response...

The Moose! The Moose!
The Moose! The Moose!
Swimming in the water.
Swimming in the water.
Eating his supper.
Eating his supper.
Where did he go?
Where did he go?
He went to SLEEP!
He Went to SLEEP!

We'll also sing The Muffin Man...

Oh do you know the muffin man,
the muffin man, the muffin man?
Oh do you know the muffin man
who lives on Drury Lane?

Oh, yes I know the muffin man,
the muffin man, the muffin man?
Oh, yes, I know the muffin man,
who lives on Drury Lane.

We all know the muffin man,
the muffin man, the muffin man.
We all know the muffin man
who lives on Drury Lane.

We'll also sing our counting song with everyday objects from the text: jars of jam, buttons, leaves, and socks.

Looking forward to more Laura Numeroff fun!
