We’re Going for a Walk

This is a children's book I wrote.

We’re going for a walk; we’re going for a walk.

Walk, walk, walk and talk, talk, talk, and we’re going for a walk.

Walk around what do you see, sitting over there in that big old oak tree?

It’s an owl. He says “Woo woo.”

“Who? It’s me…”

Woo. “Me you silly.”

Walk around what is that sound, is there something over there on the ground?

It’s a squirrel. They gather nuts for the long winter ahead.

Help pick them up one by one,

Gather all the nuts until they are all gone.

Walk around what do you see, moving around in that tree?

Tweet tweet tweet, it’s a robin in her nest.

They sing all spring can we sing too?

“La la la la la.”

Walk around what is that, circling around… is it a cat?

Let’s walk over near the trunk,

Mommy grabs my hand and says, “No honey, it’s a skunk!”

Quickly run back into the house; let’s get out of here,

We will be safer by the window, my dear.

Here we sit watching that big old tree,

It was a nice adventure outside,

But I’d rather be in baking cookies with mommy.
