Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!
The Handley Regional Library System will be welcoming in the Cat in the Hat, opening our hearts and ears to Horton to hear his Who friends, enjoying some green eggs with a side of ham, and celebrating all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters this week as we wish a Happy Birthday to Dr. Seuss!
Head over all week for Seusstastic books, rhymes, and music making. We'll shake our sillies, read some books, and celebrate one of our all time favorite authors.
Shake My Sillies Out
Gotta shake, shake, shake my sillies out
Shake, shake, shake my sillies out
Shake, shake, shake my sillies out
And wiggle my waggles away.
Gotta clap, clap, clap my crazies out…
Gotta jump, jump, jump my jiggles out…
Gotta yawn, yawn, yawn my sleepies out…
Gotta stretch, stretch, stretch my stretches out...
Gotta shake, shake, shake my sillies out…
Books to the Ceiling by Arnold Lobel
Books to the ceiling, books to the sky.
My piles of books are a mile high.
How I love them!
How I need them!
I'll have a gray hair by the time I read them.
Alligator Pie (Dr. Seuss’ ABC)
Alligator, alligator, alligator pie.
If I don't get some, I think I'm gonna cry.
You can take away the grass,
Take away the sky,
But don't take away my alligator pie.
Alligator alligator, alligator stew,
If I don't get some, I don't know what I'll do.
You can take away my furry hat,
Take away my shoe,
But don't take away my alligator stew!
Alligator alligator, alligator soup,
If I don't get some, I think I'm gonna droop.
You can take away my hockey stick,
Take away my hoop,
But don't take away my alligator soup!
Cat in the Hat Finger Play
One little cat on a sunny day,
Put on his hat and went out to play.
Two little cats went it started getting dark,
Put their hats on and went to the park.
Three little cats when the sky was blue,
Put on their hats and went to the zoo.
Four little cats by the kitchen door,
Put on their hats and went to the store.
Five little cats on a sunny day,
Put on their hats and they all ran away!
