Book 1: Trick or Treat, Bugs to Eat by Tracy C. Gold

Felt Activity: 5 Little Bats (Storytime Shenanigans)
5 black bats ready to soar;
one stayed behind 
Now there is four.
Four black bats
Hiding in a tree;
One flew away
and left three
Three black bats
Wondering what to do;
One flew away,
Now there are two.
Two black bats
Hiding from the sun;
One flew away 
and then there was one.
One black bat
Hanging all alone;
It flew away
And then there were none.

Peeking at me with yellow eyes.

How I wonder where you're at.
