DINOSAUR
Library Storytime Kit
To the tune of I’m a Little Tea Pot
I’m a mean old dinosaur (make a mean face)
Big and tall (stretch up very tall)
Here is my tail, (gesture hands behind back)
Here is my claw (make claw hands)
When I get all hungry (rub your tummy)
I just growl (growl)
Look out kids—I’m on the prowl! (prowl around like a dinosaur and roar)

Five enormous dinosaurs letting out a roar.
(hold up five fingers)
One stomped away (stomp, stomp)
And then there were four.
Four enormous dinosaurs knocking down a
tree. Clunk! (hold up four fingers)
One stomped away (stomp, stomp)
And then there were three.
Three enormous dinosaurs eating tiger stew.
Ew! (hold up three fingers)
One stomped away (stomp, stomp)
And then there were two.
Two enormous dinosaurs sitting in the sun.
(hold up two fingers)
One stomped away (stomp, stomp)
And then there was one.
One enormous dinosaur left all alone.
One stomped away (stomp, stomp)
And then there were none.
