Five Little Bears
5 little bears marching through the forest
Rain falls drip drop
One little bear said, “Oh my, I’m getting wet”
He went away & then there were 4
4 little bears marching through the forest
One went puddle jumping the other way
And then there were 3
3 little bears marching through the forest
One danced with the rain drops & then there were 2
2 little bears marching through the forest
One hid under a tree to wait the storm out & then there was 1
1 little bear marching through the forest
The rain stopped & he ran off to find his friends
And then there were none
[Bridget R. Wilson]
This Little Bear
This little bear doesn’t like rain
This little bear does like the rain
This little bear likes to puddle jump
This little bear likes to dance in the rain
This little bear wants the rain to come back again
