5 Little Stars
In the night sky, as dark as can be 5 (4,3,2,1) little stars shone down on me/
The sun started rising turning night into day, and one little star twinkled away!
Literacy tip of the week: Ask your child questions about the pictures as you read books to them. This can help engage your child in the story. It will also allow you to make sure they understand what is going on in the book.
