All by Myself by Mercer Mayer.

I can get out of bed all by myself.

I can button my overalls.

I can brush my fur.

I can put on my socks and tie my shoes.

I can pour some juice for my little sister...and help her eat breakfast.

I can pull a duck for her.

I can drive my truck.

I can ride my bike.

I can give a drink to my bear.

I can kick my ball and roll on the ground.

I can pound with my hammer.

I can sail my boat.

I can look after my little sister.

I can help Dad trim a bush...or ice a cake for Mom.

I can look at a book and find a mouse. (This is a mouse.)

I can color a picture.

I can put my toys away... (See the little bunny. He is so funny.)

And get into my pajamas.

I can brush my teeth.

I can put myself to bed...

But I can't go to sleep without a story.

Good night.

혼자서 침대에서 일어날 수 있습니다.

안녕히 주무세요.
