You put your shelf marker in, you pull the book right out, You look through the pages to see what it's about, You do the booky looky and you see if it's just right, And that's what it's all about!
 * Booky Looky (Hoky Poky)**

You put the book back in, you pull your shelf marker out, You might find a book that's better, and you don't have to shout, You do the booky looky and turn yourself around...

You take your book with you, you take your marker, too, Wait your turn in line, the computer checks you out, You do..

Hug, hug, hug your book very carefully, Down the hall and back to class, as quiet as can be. Kathy Harrity

Nonfiction books are true, Numbers are the key, Information can be yours, it's easy as can be. Don't for get the second line, It's from the author's name, Put the lines together and, you can win the game Joanne Norton
