A Little Garden Flower<\/strong><\/p>\n

A little garden flower is lying in its bed.
\nThe sun shines bright, overhead.
\nDown came the rain, dancing to and fro.
\nThe little garden flower awakens, and now begins to grow.<\/p>\n

Spring is Coming<\/strong> by Elisabeth Lebret<\/p>\n

Spring is coming, spring is coming, birdies build your nest!
\nWeave together straw and feathers, doing each your best. Doing each your best.<\/p>\n

Spring is coming, Spring is coming, Flowers are coming too.
\nPoppies, rosies, daffodillies, All are coming through! All are coming through![flower names have been modified to reflect flowers in story]<\/p>\n

Spring is coming, spring is coming, All around is fair,
\nShiver, quiver on the river, Joy is everywhere! Joy is everywhere!<\/p>\n

Finger Fairies<\/strong> by Betty Jones
\nFairies funny, five are we.
\nLaughing, happy as can be.
\nHA-HA-HA
\nHEE-HEE-HEE
\nHO-HO-HO
\nWEE-WEE-WEE
\nAnd away we go!<\/p>\n

Repeat verse using other hand.<\/p>\n

Who Likes the Rain?<\/strong> By Clara Doty Bates<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said the duck, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I call it fun,
\nFor I have my little red rubbers on!
\nThey make a cunning three-toed track
\nIn the soft cool mud. Quack! Quack! Quack!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d cried the dandelion, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I,
\nMy roots are thirsty and my buds are dry\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nAnd she lifted a tousled yellow head,
\nOut of her green and grassy bed.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I hope it will pour, I hope it will pour.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nCroaked the tree-toad at his grey back door.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153For with a broad leaf for a roof,
\nI am perfectly weather-proof!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Sang the brook, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I welcome every drop,
\nCome down dear raindrops; never stop
\nUntil a broad river you make of me
\nAnd then I will carry you out to sea!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d shouted Ted, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153for I can run
\nWith my high-top boots and raincoat on,
\nThrough every puddle, runlet, and pool
\nI find on the road to school.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Fairy Ring<\/strong>
\nRound about round about, in a fairy ring.
\nThus we dance, thus we dance, and thus we sing!
\nTrip and go, to and fro, over this green grass we go,
\nAll about, in and out, for our Flower Queen\/King!
\n<\/object><\/p>\n

To Let<\/strong> by D. Newey-Johnson<\/p>\n

Two little beaks went tap, tap, tap!
\nTwo little shells went crack, crack, crack!
\nTwo fluffy chicks peeped out and Oh!
\nThey liked the looks of the big world so,
\nThey left their homes without a fret,
\nAnd two little shells are now to let!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
