Letter E Rhymes & Songs mini-book

I created these mini-books when my little guy was just over 2.  He has always loved music, and I wanted a way to help the letters stick (because they weren’t).   He wasn’t too interested initially, but I made it a habit to sit down and read/sing these with him.  

Before long he was bringing his “wittle books” to me. Now (2 years, 8 months) he carries them around and knows many of the songs and rhymes by heart. We hear them in the playroom, car, bathtub…  Read on for Letter E songs and rhymes! 

Letter E Rhymes & Songs mini-book

You will find these songs and rhymes in the Little Letter “E” Book:

E is for Echo

(to the tune of Are You Sleeping?)

Be my echo,
Be my echo,
E says /e/,
E says /e/,
Elephant and enter,
Eggs and elevator,
/e/, /e/, /e/,
/e/, /e/, /e/!

E is for Elephant

      (if you need to hear the melody, click here)

One elephant
Went out to play
Upon a spider’s web one day
He had such enormous fun
He called for another elephant to come.
 
Two elephants…

E is for Elsie Marley

(this is a nursery rhyme that was new to me)

Elsie Marley’s grown so fine,
She won’t get up to feed the swine.
But lies in bed ’til eight or nine,
And surely she does take her time.

E is for Eeenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe

Eeenie, menie, miney, moe
Catch a tiger by the toe.
If he hollers, let him go —
Eenie, meenie, miney, moe

E is for Eggs

(to the tune of Are You Sleeping?)

I love eggs,
I love eggs,
Yum, yum, yum!
In my tum!
Scrambled, boiled or fried,
Any way I’ve tried,
Yum, yum yum!

E is for Ears

     (if you need the tune, click here)

Do your ears hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
Can you tie them in a bow?
Can you throw them o’er your shoulder
Like a continental soldier?
Do your ears hang low?

To assemble a Little Letter Book:

• Print the document in color (if you desire) on cardstock.  Be sure to print pages 2-3 (the first page is my Terms of Use) front to back. You will need only one piece of paper.
• Cut a even line across the center of the page.
• Fold the two sheets to make a book. Make sure the cover is in front, and insert the other page inside.
• Staple with a long arm stapler.
