Hello Song:
Up down, turn around
Touch the sky and touch the ground
Wiggle fingers
Wiggle toes
Wiggle shoulders say "Hello"

Book: Moose Tracks by Karma Wilson
The narrator remembers where all the other tracks, feathers, and other traces came from, but he can not figure out who left the moose prints. Another great ending in this book but do the kids get it?
Song: "Moosey Pokey"
You put your right hoof in.
You put your right hoof out.
You put your right hoof in,
And you shake it all about.
You do the moosey pokey
and you turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about.

Book: Found by Salina Yoon
Bear finds a toy rabbit and tries to return it to it's home but becomes attached to it and finds it hard to give the bunny back to it's owner. A sweet tale with a happy ending.
Flannel Board: "Five Sleepy Moose"
Five sleepy moose on a great big hill.
The first one said, "I like lying still."
The second one said, "I'm about to yawn!"
The third one said, "Please don't wake me up until dawn."
The fourth one said, "My eyes are starting to close."
The fifth one said, "It's time for a doze."
So they pulled up their covers and all said, "Goodnight!"
Then the five sleepy moose were out like a light.

Song/Rhyme:
My little moose is funny and brown (do antlers with hands on your head)
He jumps quickly up! (jump up!)
And flops back down! (flop down)
He bends to the left
Then bends to the right (move side to side)
Then my funny little moose
Walks out of sight.

Book: Ernest, the Moose Who Doesn't Fit by Catherine Rayner
A rather large moose who cannot fit on the page teams up with his little chipmunk friend to find a solution. This is such a great book really about friendship and the ending really engages an audience.
Rhyme: "This Little Moose"
This little went to market (use fingers or toes)
This little moose stayed home.
This little moose had grass and twigs.
This little moose had none.
And this little moose went trot, trot, trot,
All the way home. Credit: MRCPL Family Zone
Goodbye Song:
Up down, turn around
Touch the sky and touch the ground
Pat your belly
Blink your eyes
Blow a kiss and say "Goodbye"
