Book 1 –Light Up the Night  By Jean Reidy

Song:  Zoom Zoom Zoom

Zoom zoom zoom, we’re going to the moon
Zoom zoom zoom, we’re going to the moon
If you’d like to take a trip, climb aboard my rocket ship
Zoom zoom zoom, we’re going to the moon
5…4…3…2…1…BLAST OFF!

Book 2 – Mousetronaut  By Mark Kelly

Fingerplay:  Two Mother Pigs
Two mother pigs live in a pen.  (Put both thumbs up)
Each had 4 babies and that made 10. (Show all fingers and thumbs)
These 4 babies were black as night. (Hold up 1 hand, thumb in palm)
These 4 babies were black and white. (Hold up other hand, thumb in palm)
But all 8 babies loved to play,
And they rolled and rolled in the mud all day (roll hands over each other)
At night with their mother, they curled in a heap (make fists, palms up)
And squealed and squealed till they all went to sleep.

Book 3 – Zoom!  Zoom!  Zoom!  I’m Off to the Moon!  By Dan Yaccarino

Song:  If You’re Going to the Moon Tune (Sing to: If You’re Happy and You Know It)

If you’re going to the moon, wear your boots (stomp stomp)
If you’re going to the moon, wear your boots
If you’re going to the moon, this is what you have to do
If you’re going to the moon, wear your boots
…wear your suit (ziiiip!)
…wear your gloves (clap clap)
…wear your helmet (pat your head)

**  Literacy Tip - Make READING a part of your regular routine.
Read at least three stories a day: it may be the same story three times.
Children need to hear a thousand stories before they can begin to learn to read.
Or the same story a thousand times!  -Mem Fox
