Flannel Friday: Five Little Eggs

This is my first post to Flannel Friday, so here goes! For a recent spring storytime about eggs and nests, I was inspired by Jen in the Library's shorter version of Ten Little Eggs. My preschool storytime group runs pretty young, so Five Little Eggs was more our speed. 

“Five Little Eggs” 

There are five little eggs

And what do we see

They’re about to crack open

“My goodness me,”

said Mother Hen.

The first egg cracks open

And what do we see

It’s a snappy little alligator

Looking at me.

The second egg cracks open

And what do we see

It’s a little purple dinosaur

Looking at me.

The third egg cracks open

And what do we see

It’s a little green turtle

Looking at me.

The fourth egg cracks open

And what do we see

It’s a pretty little bluebird

Looking at me.

The fifth egg cracks open

And what do we see

It’s a little yellow chicken

Looking at me.

“My baby!”

said the mother hen,

as happy as can be.

“Mommy!” said the chick.

“Did you meet all my sisters and brothers?”

“What!” shrieked Mother Hen,

“My goodness me.”
