Happy Jack Rebus

        Print out pages of the Fall themed rebus and read aloud with your young student. Have him or her follow along with the reading; she may point to each word as you read it aloud. When you come to a tiny picture, have the student say what the picture is out loud to complete their part of the storyline.

       Happy Jack is a little squirrel. He has a warm nest up in the top of a tree. When the round bright sun peeps into his nest in the morning Happy Jack jumps out. He hears a bird sing and he sees a butterfly spread its wings. A busy, busy bee hims past looking for a flower. Happy Jack runs to a hole in the tree where he keeps nuts to eat. He pops into the hole. Soon he sticks his head out. What has he in his mouth? It is a nut. "Caw, Caw, is it good?' asks a black crow who lives near. Happy Jack feels a pull at his tail and drops the nut. There is a Little Bun who lines in the next tree. Away runs Little Bun. Happy Jack runs after him and the crow flies off with the nut.

       How those two squirrels do play! They sit down, one on each end of a log, to rest. What is that? It is a cat. She will try to catch the squirrels. Bow wow! There comes a little dog. See the cat! The dog's name is Frisky. And there is a little boy. He has brought some nuts in a basket for the squirrels. There is a bunny. See him sit up. He is a friend of Happy Jack. Right at the foot of Happy Jack's tree lives a toad. He catches insects with his long tongue. Sometimes Happy Jack drops a nut on the head of Mr. toad. He does it for fun. When the moon looks down and the stars twinkle Happy Jack and Little Bun will be curled up snug and worm in their nests.
