Gecko On My Toothbrush!
By:
This is a fun poem to read with children. Make a yucky face and do facial expressions while you read it: Stuffed toy geckos (lizards) can be found in craft and toy stores. Place one upon your toothbrush!
THERE IS A GECKO ON MY TOOTHBRUSH!
There is a gecko on my toothbrush
I don’t know what to do!
There is a gecko on my toothbrush
Should I send it to the zoo?
It is so squiggly-wiggly
With eyes bright as can be
If I try to put it into a cage
Do you think it’ll be mad at me?
My Mom says it really is friendly
It eats ants and little fleas
Perhaps I can teach it manners...
Like "No thank you" and "please."
I think I will just let it climb my walls
And live inside my home
But PLEASE don’t eat my toothpaste
And leave my brush alone!!
