Songs
Cat in the Hat
Sung to: The Addams Family
The cat in the hat
The cat in the hat
The cat in the hat
The cat in the hat!


Five Little Cats with Hats
One little cat on a sunny day
Put on his hat and went out to play
Two little cats when the sky turned dark
Put on their hats and went to the park
Three little cats when the sky turned blue
Put on their hats and went to the zoo
Four little cats by the kitchen door
Put on their hats and went to the store
Five little cats on a sunny day
Put on their hats and they all ran away.

At the Library
Sung to: “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”
At the library the Garland library
We read a lot of books.
At the library the Garland library
We read a lot of books.
Reeeeeeeeeeaaaaad
Read a book when?

Reeeeeeeeeeaaaaad
Read a book when?
TODAY!
We read a lot, we read a lot,
We read a lot, we read a lot,
We read a lot, we read a lot,
We read a lot!
We read a lot, we read a lot,
We read a lot, we read a lot,
We read a lot, we read a lot,
We read a lot!
