Flannel Friday: Five Shiny Stars

Our volunteer made this board book by Little Scholastic into a flannel board story for me.

Book Cover
Five Shiny Stars illustrated by Gabrielle Buckingham

Five shiny stars were twinkling at the cat,
Looking very pretty in the sky like that.
One of the stars found the perfect place to hide…
Leaving four shiny stars and a cloud outside.

Four shiny stars were twinkling at the cat,
Looking very pretty in the sky like that.
One of the stars found the perfect place to hide…
Leaving three shiny stars and some clouds outside.

Three shiny stars were twinkling at the cat,
Looking very pretty in the sky like that.
One of the stars found the perfect place to hide…
Leaving two shiny stars and some clouds outside.

Two shiny stars were twinkling at the cat,
Looking very pretty in the sky like that.
One of the stars found the perfect place to hide…
Leaving one shiny star and some clouds outside.

One shiny star was twinkling at the cat,
Feeling very lonely in the sky like that.

All the other stars came out to shine so bright…
So there were five shiny stars to wish the cat good night!

The book suggests you sing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star at the end of the book.

  2. Thanks : ) I haven't tried it in storytime yet, but I think it will be a fun one. So many board books are good for toddlers, but you can't get them in a different format.
