The sun goes down, the first star comes out, and Teo and his Nana walk home over the hill. When the wind blows their lantern out, the little star shows them the way. Count the stars, call to the owl, tiptoe past the star in the pond, and breathe slow on the bench, all the way home to bed. The lullaby everyone knows, with Jane Taylor's five original verses and new ones to sing and move to. Look for Luna the cat on every page.
Level 3 · Sing It Through
Longer verses, more to remember.
The child: Sings whole verses, follows a story, keeps counts and sequences, and can learn the tune on the keys.
The grown-up: Shares the singing. Try word mode and the melody view, or the Piano Path lesson for the tune.
