Little Snail

It’s raining, raining, raining,
and it doesn’t stop!
And the little snail
hides with his house on top.
And the little snail
hides with his house on top.

After a little while
the world begins to dry.
And the little snail peeks out to say hi!
And the little snail peeks out to say hi!

El caracolito

Llueve, llueve, llueve,
llueve sin parar.
Y el caracolito en su casa está.
Y el caracolito en su casa está.

Después de un ratote
empieza a escampar.
Y el caracolito sale a pasear.
Y el caracolito sale a pasear.

“El caracolito” is the first part of the song “Caminando va” on the album Canciones de sol by the excellent Marta Gómez. Her music for children is amazing. This is a beautiful little vignette of a day in the life of a snail. For storytime we translated it to English and added hand motions.
