Now that I am bigger,
I am tall, tall, tall.
I am not as tall as Mummy,
Or Daddy or a tree,
I am just the right size,
The right size for me!

Itsy Bitsy spider
Climbed the water spout, Down came the rain,
And washed the spider out,
Out came the sun
And dried up all the rain,
So itsy bitsy spider
Climbed the spout again.

Continue the rhyme and replace “Itsy Bitsy” with
happy little spider, sad little spider, angry little spider etc.
