Are you familiar with, “Want to read a book? Book done read.”?

I just received this email from Jennifer…

My husband has started repeating the following rhyme (a call and response type of thing) with our 3 children. He is sure that it is “real”? and thinks he has seen it in print. I have never heard it. Unfortunately, he can’t remember all of it. Any takers? Here is what I know…

“Want to read a book? Book done read.
Want to go to bed? Bed not made.
Want some lemonade? Lemonade sour.
Want to climb a tower? Tower too high.
Want a piece of pie? Pie too sweet.
Want a piece of meat? Meat too tough.”?

…..this is the part he can’t remember…

And then…

“Want to say Goodbye? Goodbye.”?

If anyone is familiar with this rhyme, please comment below.

Thanks!

Lisa

    The way I learned it was with hand movements too, after you go through it once, you start over but also jumping up and down. The third time, you do it jogging on the spot.
