The Bear Went Over the Mountain
- 10 spreads
- About 2 min of song
- English · Español
The bear went over the mountain, to see what he could see. And then? Through the forest, under the bridge, around the lake, into the cave, up the tree and down to the valley, all the way home to Mama. Sing the campfire song everyone knows, move to every verse, and find the tiny mountain goat on every page.
Level 1 · First Songs
Listen, move, and join in with a sound.
The child: Listens, moves, claps or taps, and joins in with a sound, a word or a sign when the song stops for them.
The grown-up: Sings most of it. Pauses before the word that comes back so the child can fill it in, any way they can.
