The Family Book, by Todd Parr


I Wish My Brother Was A Dog, by Carol Shields

Here Is My Family
(tune: Row, Row, Row Your Boat)

Grandma, Mom, & Dad,
I love them all, you see,
Each and every one of them,
They are my family.

*Substitute  family members' names for the three members in the first line.

With My Family
(Tune: The Muffin Man)
Tell me what you like to do
Like to do, Like to do,
Tell me what you like to do
With your family.
Edward likes to rake the leaves
Rake the leaves, rake the leaves.
Edward likes to rake the leaves
With his family.

Substitute things you like to do.

My Family
Here is Daddy (thumb)
Here is Mommy. (index)
Here I am for three. (pinky)
Together we're a family,
As happy as can be! (clap!)

I Love Mommy
(or Daddy, Brother, Sister, etc.)
(tune: Frere Jacques)

I love Mommy, I love Mommy,
Yes I do, yes I do.
And my mommy loves me.
Yes, my mommy loves me,
Loves me too, loves me too.
