Poem

I am small and have some fur. (Draw an oval)

I have eyes, a nose, and whiskers. (Draw eyes, nose and whiskers in the oval)

I squeak, but I don't purr. (Draw the mouth)

I have a long thin tail. (Draw on a long, thin tail)

I might live in your house. (Draw a house shape around the mouse)

I have two little ears. (Draw ears)

I'm a small and furry . . . MOUSE!
