Finger Tales by Joan Hilyer Phelps has had quite a few gems in it. “Little Rocket’s Trip” is great for a solar system/space theme. The pieces can be made on a large scale to make it easier for kids to see. This little poem is great to use with toddler and preschool aged children.

A little rocket
Roared off one day
On a trip into space,
So far away.
While zooming about
He saw some stars
Then he circled around
The planet Mars.
He saw planet Saturn,
And the man on the moon,
Then he saw planet Earth,
And back home he zoomed!
