The color poems are from a resource book that has reproducible booklets for beginning readers. It is called Color, Shape, and Season Rhymes by Jean Warren. (Several visitors have had difficulty finding this book.  Due to copyright, I can not place the words to the color poems on my website. However, you could easily substitute the original color poems for similar poems such as the ones at Preschool Express (a website by the above author, Jean Warren).  )

Way Up High
(Tune: 'This Old Man')
Way up high
in a tree
Two red apples smiled at me!
So I shook that tree
as hard as I could.
Down came the apples.
Mmmm.  Were they good!

Change apples to be different fruits that grow on trees and resing!
(Pears, oranges, cherries, pineapples, grapefruits, etc.)
