2. Chicken Soupch chair I was really hungry For some chunky chicken soup, But my mother said to me, “Just have some chili.” I was really hungry For some chunky chicken soup, But my mother said to me, “Just eat a cherry.” So, I snuck into the kitchen And climbed upon a chair, And with one fail swoop, I cooked my chunky chicken soup!

3. Chick Peck, peck, peck, On the warm brown egg. Out came a neck, Out comes a leg. How does a chick, Who’s not been about Discover the trick Of how to get out? Aileen Fisher Return to Kindergarten Menu

4. I Think I Like Pink I think I like pink, I really don’t know why. I want pink things, About that I’m not shy. I want pink roller blades, To zip around the rink, Bright pink potato chips and pink soda pop to drink. I wish pink things didn’t bring me such joy, Because what you don’t know, Is that I am a boy!

5. Queen Queedle’s Quilting Queen Queedle sat quietly On her quaint throne While quilting a quilt For the Prince of Quobone. Though Queedle grew drowsy From quilting and sitting, She quilted for hours— No question of quitting. Till, carelessly, Queedle Felt poked by her needle— “I’m through with quilting! I quit!” cried Queen Queedle. Paige Taylor Phonics Through Poetry Goodyear Books 1999

6. Quietly A brown-grass quilt Hides the brown quail Who quivers As a quick fox Quietly Passes. Mary Quattlebaum Phonics Through Poetry Good Year Books 1998

7. Pretty Pricilla Pretty Pricilla likes to primp. With hair, clothes, and make up She doesn’t skimp. She likes to pretend She’s a princess or a movie star. She practices poses and prances about, “I am beautiful!” she will often shout. p. cannon Return to Kindergarten Menu

8. Pleasant Little Pigs I know three little pigs, As pleasant as can be. They always say, “Thank you, may I, and please.” They keep their food upon their plates, And a napkin in their lap. When mother says “Eat your eggplant veggies.” They eat every scrap. P. Cannon Return to Kindergarten Menu

9. Hungry Little Frog There was a little frog, As hungry as could be, He yelled at his friends, “Bring some food to ME!” They hurried and they scurried, To find him yummy treats. This is what they found for Their hungry friend to eat: Continued on next slide

10. Hungry Little Frog French fries and fritters, And fettuccini, too, Frankfurters, fudge, and very juicy fruit. He got so fat, he couldn’t even scoot! He still demanded more, They said, “You are a hog,” and when they brought fried frog legs... He fainted....and fell off his log. p. cannon Return to Kindergarten Menu

11. My Friend Gabby My friend, Gabby, Is terribly blabby. She blabbers, and she blabbers All day long... One day while the teacher Was writing on the blackboard, Gabby whispered, and whispered, And whispered out my name, And when I blared out, “STOP IT!” It was ME who got the blame! P.
