WILL YOUR AREA BE NEXT TO HAVE A PAINTED STONE CIRCLE?

I have a wish

I'd like to share.

Really wanna tell ya,

but do I dare?

Could it be you wish

the same as me?

Well, here I go...

Now you're gonna know.

I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish

I wish I had a tail!

A long tail, short tail,

fuzzy wuzzy bushy tail.

A whale tail, a whale tail

ringtail, bobtail

wiggle waggle curly tail

A snail tail, a snail tail.

If I had a tail like a monkey's,

I would swing in the trees

If I had a tail like a kangaroo,

I'd bound from the ground,

just like they do!

If I had a tail like a long haired cat,

I'd wrap it around me and

purrrrr just like that!

If I had a tail like the beaver does,

I'd paddle up the river beyond,

build my house on the edge of the pond.

A tail can be useful most anywhere.

A tail can be helpful, here and there.

But most of all it could be fun.

I bet you wish, you wish, you wish you could grow one!

A minky tail, dinky tail, flippy floppy slinky tail!

A whale tail, a whale tail

scratchy tail, itchy tail

prickly porcupiney tail!

A tail can be useful most anywhere.

A tail can be helpful, here and there.

But most of all it could be fun.

I wish, I wish, I wish,

I wish I could grow one!

Could it be true, you'd like one too!

PAINTING ON ROCKS FOR KIDS

By Lin Wellford and Maryjo McGraw

Lin Wellford, the original "rock artist" shows kids how to create amazing creatures, incredible toys and wild gifts for their friends and family.
