 Hello everyone. Welcome back to preschool story time. My name is Miss Shayna and today we're going to sing a song called Clap Your Hands Everybody. Clap your hands, everybody. Clap your hands. Clap your hands, everybody. Clap your hands. Stomp your feet, everybody. Stomp your feet. Stomp your feet, everybody. Stomp your feet. Stomp your feet. Turn around. Everybody go to sleep. Go to sleep. Everybody go to sleep. Wake up. Jump around everybody. Time for the story time fairy to show up. You're filling in for the story time fairy. Can I ask your name? It's a nice name, Carol. It's nice to meet you. My name is Miss Shayna. I see you brought the story time basket for us today. Thank you. Do you mind helping us open the story time basket? Okay. What do we have today? So curious what story time could be about. What are those? Pants? Story time about pants? Okay. Is there something else in there? All right. What else can you show us? And what's that? A shirt. How exciting a pair of pants and a shirt. Is story time about doing laundry? Okay. Maybe we should get out the flannel board to figure out what this is about. Okay. Can you hold the flannel board for me? Thank you. It's got this little ribbon right here. Oh, you've got a great beak for holding things, don't you? Thank you. All right. So we had a pair of pants and a shirt. I also see a little hat, a glove, another glove, and another shoe. I can't figure out what this is supposed to be. There's one more. Okay. What do we got? Any idea what this could be? Put them together, you say. Okay. Well, I suppose if this were a person, I would put their shoes. Hmm. Let's see. Maybe their pants right here with the shoes. And I put the shirt right here with the gloves. Does that seem right? And their hat would be somewhere up here, but I still don't under. Oh. Oh, see what this is? Do you know what this is? That's right. Look, crow. Are you scared of scarecrow? Well, you know, it's because you eat all of the crops growing like the corn and the scarecrows meant to scare you away so you don't eat at all. Oh, you don't seem to like that very much. Well, thank you, Carol, the crow. See you later. So I suppose story time is about scarecrows. Today's story is called the scarecrows hat. It's written by Ken Brown and also illustrated by Ken Brown. And I'm reading this today with permission from Peachtree Publishers. That's a nice hat, said chicken to scare crow. Yes, it is, replied scare crow. But I'd rather have a walking stick. I've been standing here for years now and my arms are so tired. I'd love a walking stick to lean on. I'd swap my hat for a walking stick any day. Now, chicken didn't have a walking stick, but she knew someone who did. That's a nice walking stick, said chicken to badger. Yes, it is, replied badger. But I'd rather have a piece of ribbon. It gets hot and stuffy underground so I propped my door open with a stick but I'm always tripping over it. If I had a ribbon, I could tie the door open. I'd swap my walking stick for a ribbon any day. Now, chicken didn't have a ribbon, but she knew someone who did. That's a nice ribbon, said chicken to crow. Yes, it is, said crow. But I'd rather have some wool. My nest is on this high stone ledge and it's very hard to sit on. I'd love some warm, soft wool to line it with. I'd swap this ribbon for some wool any day. Now, chicken didn't have any wool, but she knew someone who did. That's a nice wool coat, said chicken to sheep. Yes, it is, replied sheep. But I'd rather have a pair of glasses. I have to keep a lookout for the wolf. My eyes are not as good as they used to be. I really need a pair of glasses. I'd swap some of my wool for a pair of glasses any day. Now, chicken didn't have a pair of glasses, but she knew someone who did. That's a nice pair of glasses, said chicken to owl. Yes, it is, said owl. My old ones broke, so I had to get a new pair. But I'd rather have a blanket. The sun streams through my window and keeps me awake all day, which wouldn't matter if I had a good thick blanket to sleep under. I'd swap my glasses for a blanket any day. Now, chicken didn't have a blanket, but she knew someone who did. That's a nice blanket, said chicken to donkey. Yes, it is, replied donkey. But I'd rather have a few feathers. The flies drive me crazy, buzzing around my ears. My tail isn't quite long enough to flick them away. But if I had some long feathers tied to the end of it, well, I could swap them easily. I'd swap my blanket for a few long feathers any day. Who has a few long feathers maybe she could spare? Quick as a flash, chicken pulled out one, two, three of her longest feathers and tied them to donkey's tail. Donkey was delighted and true to his word, swapped his blanket for the feathers. Chicken took the blanket to owl, who swapped it for his glasses, the old ones of course. She took the glasses to sheep, who swapped them for her wool. She took the wool to crow, who swapped it for her ribbon. She took the ribbon to badger, who swapped it for his walking stick. Finally, she took the walking stick to scarecrow. With a grateful sigh of relief, he leaned his tired old arms on the stick and gladly swapped it for his battered old hat. Chicken took the hat and filled it with fresh, sweet smelling straw. What do you think she's going to use it for? I bet you know. Nice nest, said duck. Yes it is, said chicken, and I wouldn't swap it for anything. The end. Now it's time for a song called Five Crows All Shiny Black. Will you help me count the crows? One, two. Can you show me five on your hand? Great job. Five crows all shiny black, said on a scarecrow's back, eating some most delicious corn. Caw, caw. Scarecrow he shouted, boo, one crow away she flew. Now there are four black shiny crows. One, two, three, four. Four crows all shiny black, said on a scarecrow's back, eating some most delicious corn. Caw, caw. Scarecrow he shouted, boo, one crow away she flew. Now there are three black shiny crows. One, two, three, three crows so shiny black, said on a scarecrow's back, eating some most delicious corn. Caw, caw. Scarecrow he shouted, boo, away she flew. Now there are two black shiny crows. One, two crows so shiny black, said on a scarecrow's back, eating some most delicious corn. Caw, caw. Scarecrow he shouted, boo, away she flew. One black shiny crow. One crow so shiny black, said on eating some most delicious corn. Caw, caw. Scarecrow shiny crows the end. Thank you so much for joining me today. I had a lot of fun reading about scarecrow's with you. We'll see you next time. Take care.
