Lost in the Woods

Two children set out on a hike with their dog, but when they get lost in the woods, they must use their wits and work together to find their way back home.

Read together

In the kitchen, there's a cabinet so grand,
Filled with canisters, oh so bland.
They hold sugar, flour, and tea,
But what else could there possibly be?

There's a bucket with a handle so strong,
It can carry water all day long.
And a canteen for a picnic lunch,
Filled with juice or water, it's your hunch.

In the living room, there's a case so neat,
A briefcase that's always on the beat.
It carries papers, books, and more,
It's a busy bag that can't be ignored.

There's a carrier for your furry friend,
A carton that you can bend.
It's perfect for a game of peek-a-boo,
Or storing toys, it's up to you!

So many cans and cases to see,
What other treasures could there possibly be?
Keep exploring, you'll never know,
What new things you'll find, and where they'll go!

Talk about it
