Opening Songs
First Book:

Flannel Rhyme: Five Little Pumpkins
Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate.
The first one said, “Oh, my, it’s getting late!”
The second one said, “There are witches in the air!”
The third one said, “Well, I don’t care!”
The fourth one said, “Let’s run, and run, and run!”
The fifth one said, “I’m ready for some fun!”
Then WHOOOOOOSH went the wind
and OUT went the lights.
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight.
