The Letters P & Q

Our letter P & Q words are Panda, Pig, Pizza & Quiet. (You could also use Quack--as in "the duck says quack", not "that doctor is a quack" :)
There are plenty of books for a Letter P storytime, but the Q is pretty much tacked on here--another letter I'd love to hear ideas about!

Pizza Man

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, Pizza Man
Make me a pizza as fast as you can!
Roll it,
And toss it,
Sprinkle it with cheese,
Put it in the oven and bake it fast, please!

I'm a Little Piggy
Sung to: "I'm a Little Teapot"

I'm a little piggy,
Short and stout
Here are my ears,
Here is my snout
When I see the
Farmer in the dell,
I "oink oink oink!"
And wiggle my tail.

Six Little Ducks

Six little ducks that I once knew,
Fat ones, skinny ones, tall ones, too
But the one little duck with the feather on his back,
He led the others with a "Quack quack quack!"

Down to the river they would go,
Wibble wobble, wibble wobble, to and fro
But the one little duck with the feather on his back,
He led the others with a "Quack quack quack!"
Quack quack quack, quack quack quack,
He led the others with a "Quack quack quack!"
