Text of Book Included:
"I can roll like a pumpkin.
And like a leaf, I can fall.
I can stretch like a fall tree--
And stand up very tall!
I can sway like a cornstalk.
And like an acorn, I can drop.
And when I pick an apple--
I can pick one from the top!
I can pose like a scarecrow--
And jump from hay bales that are small.
And when the wind is blowing,
like a leaf I can fall!"
