We read:
- Lunch written and ill. by Denise Fleming
- "Hi, Pizza Man!" by Virginia Walter, ill. by Ponder Goembel
- If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Joffe Numeroff; ill. by Felicia Bond
We sang:
- Another rendition of "Jello in the Bowl" with added verses: Jello in my mouth, jello in my hair, jello on my hands, jello in my belly...
- "I Like to Eat Apples and Bananas" by Raffi - We also sang a version with "I like to eat, eat, eat pepperoni pizza" to transition into Hi, Pizza Man!
- "The Donut Song" - Lots of lyrics variations at this site!
- "There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly" - Sung with a puppet! I used the traditional, "She's dead, of course" line, and it didn't seem to traumatize any of the toddlers too deeply. Phew. Do any of you use an alternative line for that part, and how does it go over?
Cookie is good enough for me! None of this fruits and vegetables nonsense. ;) (I hope this video's lyrics have not been dubbed over with something obscene - apparently that is quite the YouTube trend and I don't have my sound on at work!)

Hi, Kate: regarding other endings for LOLWSAF, I've heard "She's silly, of course," and "She's done, of course." Have you seen the picture book I know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie by Alison Jackson and Judy Schachner? They do not use the dead ending, either. You'll have to check, but I think they say,"She's full, of course."
One time I was feeling mischievous, so I said, "She PUKED, of course!" All the kids screamed "EEWWW!!" the teacher looked shocked, and it was a grand, old time. :o)
C is for Cookie!
...that's good enough for me!
