Raccoon
sleeps
in
a
hollow
tree
While
the
sun
shines
on
you
and
me.
Sleep,
little
raccoon,
Sleep,
little
raccoon,
Warm
and
cozily.
In
the
darkest
part
of
night
Raccoon
has
the
best
eyesight.
Look,
little
raccoon,
Look,
little
raccoon,
My,
your
eyes
are
bright.
Raccoon
hardly
makes
a
sound
when
he
prowls
all
around.
Hunt,
little
raccoon,
Hunt,
little
raccoon,
Find
food
on
the
ground.

Mr. Owl
Said Mr. Owl, sitting in a tree,
"How would you like
To be like me?
I sleep all day
In the bright sunlight,
And look for my dinner
In the middle of the night!
2.
I am a bat.
I am nocturnal.
I sleep during the day and
I am awake at night.
I am an opossum.
I am nocturnal.
I sleep during the day and
I am awake at night.
Opossum
Those Bats
They come in many colors,
Flying through the night time air.
They use sonar to guide their way,
Those bats are everywhere!
They eat so many little bugs,
The farmers love them so.
But when the daylight comes along,
Do you know where they go?
3.
The opossum is loving and never a grouch.
She carries her babies around in a pouch.
The babies grow bigger but stay by her side.
They climb on her back and she gives them a ride!
The opossum is clever and hunts in the night.
Her very sharp teeth make it easy to bite.
And if she’s in danger she uses her head
By lying quite still and pretending she’s dead!

I am a wolf.
I am nocturnal.
I sleep during the day and

Firefly
Firefly, firefly,
Wow, how you glow!
Under your body
You light up below!
Firefly, firefly,
Wow, how you shine!
At night in the dark
I can see you just fine!

Wolf
Wolf's known to travel in a pack,
That doubtless doesn't leader lack.
Wolf pack is quiet at high noon,
But loud, when howling at the moon.
It fills the night with haunting tune.

Directions:
Fold each page in half with
the writing to the outside.
Slip the numbered pages in order
inside the cover page with the folded
edge to the outside or right side of
the book. Staple the pages together
on the left side. Having the pages
folded instead of cut apart makes
them sturdier. Also, you can print the
cover page on cardstock to make the
book last longer.
Enjoy!
