Book: The Duckling Gets a Cookie!? by Mo Willems
Rhyme: Five Little Cookies
Five little cookies with chocolate chips galore,
Mommy ate one and now there are four.
Four little cookies on the plate I see,
Daddy ate one and now there are three.
Three little cookies but before I knew,
Sister ate one and now there are two.
Two little cookies yum, yum, yum,
Brother ate one and now there is one.
One little cookie, here I come!
I ate it up and now there are none.

Closing Song: It’s Time to Say Goodbye to All Our Friends (to the tune of She’ll Be Comin’ Round the Mountain When She Comes)
It’s time to say goodbye to all our friends, “Goodbye!” (tap knees)
It’s time to say goodbye to all our friends, “Goodbye!”
It’s time to say goodbye,
Wave your hands and wink your eye, (wave, wink)
Now it’s time to say goodbye to all our friends, “Goodbye!”
