DIRECTIONS FOR PRINTING AND FOLDING MINI BOOKS
1. Print out the page for one of the rhymes. Find the word “Name” above the title
of the rhyme.
2. Turn the page so that the picture with the word “Name” is the bottom right-hand
picture on the page. This will be the cover of the book.
3. Flip the page over. Now the picture with the word “Name” should be face down
in the bottom left-hand corner image.
4. With images face down, fold down the top of the page to the bottom of the page.
5. You should be looking at the inside of the book, not the picture with the word
“Name.” Now fold from left to right.
6. You should see the picture with the word “Name” which is the cover of the book.
7. Write the child’s name on the line next to the word “Name.” Start with a capital
letter and use lowercase letters for the rest of the name. This will help the
child learn to recognize their name in print.
8. Have fun reading the book to the child over and over!

The monkey thought t’was all
in fun—Pop! Goes the weasel.
A penny for a spool of thread,
A penny for a needle.
Name:
Pop! Goes the Weasel
That’s the way the money goes—
Pop! Goes the weasel.
All around the cobbler’s bench
the monkey chased the weasel.
