Tip
When you enjoy a book, let your children know that you like it and why. Sharing your enjoyment gives them a positive attitude toward books. This positive attitude will influence them when they get to school and learn to read. Let your child choose books and tell you why he/she likes them. -Lambert

Let’s take a look at this book
Here is the cover
We open it wide
Here are the pages hidden inside
There are words and pictures

Chorus
Shake, shake, shake your bean bag
Shake, shake, shake your bean bag
Everybody come on, shake your bean bag
Shake your bean bag, don′t let it drop
Let’s all do the bean bag rock
Hold the bean bag on your head
Hold the bean bag on your knees

Now shake and wriggle ’cause you’re doing the bean bag rock

Shake, shake
Shake your bean bag
Stop
It′s called the bean bag rock
