Five little books,
Sitting on a shelf.
Look inside
And see a little elf
Four little books
All in a row
Look inside
See it start to snow
Three little books
Still on the shelf
Can you take one
And read it for yourself?
Two little books,
Left on a pile
Find one now
And read it with a smile.
One little book,
All that is there
Found itself a reader who was happy to share.
