Book 1: Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear? by Bill Martin
Rhyme: Polar Bear, Polar Bear Turn Around
Polar bear, polar bear turn around,
Polar bear, polar bear touch the ground,
Polar bear, polar bear bend down low,
Polar bear, polar bear touch your toe.
Polar bear, polar bear slide on the ice,
Polar bear, polar bear spin around twice.
Polar bear, polar bear reach up high,
Polar bear, polar bear wave goodbye.

Book 2: Virgil and Owen by Paulette Bogan
Rhyme: Two Little Penguins
Two little penguins sitting on a hill. (hold up two fingers)
One named Jack and one named Jill.
Waddle away Jack. Waddle away Jill. (place hands behind back)
Come back Jack. Come back Jill. (bring hands back to front)
Two little penguins sitting on the ice. (hold up two fingers)
One bows once, the other bows twice. (make index fingers bow)
Waddle little penguins. Waddle away. (put fingers behind back)
Come back penguins. Time to play! (bring fingers to the front)

Book 3: Tacky the Penguin
Song: Penguin Pokey
You put your right flipper in, you take your right flipper out.
You put your right flipper in and you shake it all about.
You do the penguin pokey and you turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about.
(continue on with left flipper, right foot, left foot, beak, etc.,)
