Everybody Says Meow! Or do they? Fans of Sandra Boynton and of Jules Feiffer’s classic Bark, George will meow, bark, and ribbit when they hear this picture book about a waggish group of adorable animals that just cannot follow one simple instruction.
WATCH and LISTEN to Constance Lombardo read her book Everybody Says Meow:
SONG: I Know a Cat (tune: Bingo)
I know a cat with perky ears, and Kitty is her name-o.
K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y.
And Kitty is her name-o.
She makes a sound and it’s “Meow,”
and Kitty is her name-o.
K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y,
and Kitty is her name-o.
FINGERPLAY: One Little Kitten
One little kitten with a tiny mew, (hold up one finger)
Called for another, and then there were two. (hold up two fingers)
Two little kittens, climbing up a tree, (make climbing motions)
Called for another, and then there were three. (hold up three fingers)
Three little kittens, racing ‘round the floor, (roll hands over one another)
Called for a friend, and then there were four. (hold up four fingers)
Four little kittens, frisky and alive,
Called for a friend, and then there were five. (hold up five fingers)
A puppy comes along, hoping for some fun,
And all the little kittens run, run, run! (wiggle five fingers and hide them behind your back)
