TIGER
I’m a tiger
Striped with fur
Don’t come near
Or I might Grrr
Don’t I come near
Or I might growl
Don’t come near
Or I might
BITE!

KITTY
Look at pretty little Kitty
Gnawing on a bone!
How I wish she’d eat some fish
And leave my leg alone.

THE TICKLE RHYME
“Who’s that tickling my back?” said the wall.
“Me,” said a small
Caterpillar. “I’m learning
To crawl.”
Ian Serraillier
Good luck!
