I’m glad I have skin! 3
The Wheels on the Bus
My hands can touch things large and small: 4
a kitten’s fur, 5
a cotton ball, 6
a lovely quilt, 7
a silky shawl. 8
They ’re soft. I like them all. 9
My hands can touch things large and small: 10
a shiny rock, 11
a big brick wall, 12
a silver spoon, 13
a soccer ball. 14
They ’re hard. I like them all. 15
My cheeks can feel things warm and cold: 16
a summer breeze, 17
the wind so bold, 18
a cozy fire, 19
the winter snow. 20
My skin knows warm from cold. 21
