延伸活動:
可做道具來搭配演唱The Quiet Mouse,或當成手指謠來玩。

Once there lived a quiet mouse.

In a quiet little house.
(另一手當房子,讓老鼠住到房子裡)

Come Out and Play, Little Mouse

Come Out and Play, Little Mouse, by Robert Kraus, pictures by Jose Aruego and Ariane Dewey, Mulberry, 1987

網路有聲書: Come Out and Play, Little Mouse

從星期一到星期五,貓都想要找老鼠出來玩,可是老鼠每一次都不能出來,因為他若不是要陪媽媽去買菜,就是要幫爸爸刷油漆......到了星期六,老鼠還是很忙,不過,老鼠的弟弟倒是有空,他高興地出來玩,玩什麼呢?貓說玩貓捉老鼠!這下可糟了!


兒歌:
這首兒歌本是用來唱一週七天的例行公事:
The Mulberry Bush
Here we go round the mulberry bush, mulberry bush, mulberry bush.
Here we go round the mulberry bush so early in the morning.
This is the way we wash our clothes, wash our clothes, wash our clothes,
This is the way we wash our clothes so early Monday morning.
(重唱第三、四行,但改為iron our clothes—Tuesday; scrub the floor—Wednesday; mend our clothes—Thursday; sweep the house—Friday; bake our bread—Saturday; go to church—Sunday.)

不過,也可以用來唱起床歌:把wash our clothes改成brush our teeth, wash our faces, comb our hair, put on our clothes, put on our socks, put on our shoes, ....(邊唱邊做出動作)

當然也適合用來唱洗澡歌:把wash our clothes改成find the tub, add the water, take off our clothes, get in the tub, rub with soap, ....(邊唱邊做出動作)

Leo the Late Bloomer

Leo the Late Bloomer, Robert Kraus & Jose Aruego, Harper Collins, 1994

成長緩慢的Leo(名字叫做獅子的老虎!)什麼都比別人慢,不但說話說得晚,書不會看,字也不會寫,急得爸爸(不是媽媽,她老神在在)心急如焚,但最後也不得不順其自然。而就在爸爸放棄盯梢的時刻起,Leo開竅了!他不但會說話,而且說一長句,不但會寫字,而且一次用三枝筆寫!當然一旁觀看的爸媽也就鬆了一口氣。
