Book: My Lucky Day by Keiko Kasza
A twist on the classic where pigs are preyed but with a happy ending for the pig.
Song: "I'm a Little Piggy"
I'm a little piggy
Short and Stout
Here are my ears (point to ears)
And here is my snout (point to nose)
When I see the yummy food in my pail (put hand over eyes as if searching)
I oink, oink, oink (OINK!)
And wiggle my tail! (Wiggle bottom)

Book: Little Oink by Amy Krouse Rosenthal
I love this one as much as Little Hoot.
Song/Flannel Board: "5 Clean and Squeaky Pigs"
Five pigs so squeaky clean,
Cleanest you've ever seen,
Wanted to go outside and play. (Oink! Oink!)
One jumped into the mud
Landed with a great big thud,
Then there were 4 clean squeaky pigs (Oink! Oink!)
Book: Pigs Aplenty, Pigs Galore! by David McPhail
Fun, rhyming story.
Fingerplay: "Two Mother Pigs"
Two mother pigs lived in a pen (show thumbs)
Each had four babies and that made ten (show thumbs and fingers)
These four babies were black as night (show fingers on one hand)
These four babies were black and white (show fingers on the other hand)
But all eight babies loved to play and they rolled and rolled in the mud all day (roll hands)
At night with their mother they curled up in a heap (make fists with palms up)
And squealed and squealed until they all went to sleep. (squeal like a pig then snore)

Closing Song:
Oh it's time to say goodbye to all my friends (clapclap)
It's time to say goodbye to all my friends (clapclap)
Storytime is done today (wave goodbye)
So come again another day
It's time to say goodbye to all my friends (clapclap)
