19 What Do You Need? By Helen O’ReillyTo build a house You need a block. To tell the time You need a clock. To open the door You need to knock. To sail a ship You need a dock. And to cover your foot, You need a sock Block, clock, Tick tock, Knock, dock Sock!

20 I Play All Day The rain can fall. The sun can go away. But I don’t stop. I play all day. My feet can get wet. The day can get gray. But I don’t stop. I play all day. Some kids go inside. Some kids may not stay. I play all day!

21 I Use My Brain by Jackie SilbergI use my brain to think, think, think. I use my nose to smell. I use my eyes to blink, blink, blink. I use my throat to yell. I use my mouth to giggle, giggle, giggle. I use my hips to bump. I use my toes to wiggle, wiggle, wiggle And I use my legs to jump.

22 My Pets by Elinor ChamasMy duck ate my cake, My dog ate my ham, My cat stole my milk, And my bee is on my jam. My pig has my pancake, My mice got my cheese, Tell me, why, oh why, Did I choose pets like these?
