Of all the toys I have for play, there's one I like the most- hooray! They're square, and I can stack them tall and laugh when they begin to fall! And, on the floor in a long line- a choo choo train, I build just fine! I push the end so it can go and roar the sound of horns that blow. Then I can build a jungle snake- pretend it's real and not just fake! I'm not afraid that it might bite- it's make-believe, so I'm all right. My colored squares of wood are fun, and I make sure that when I'm done I put them back in their red box- my special toy of wooden blocks.
