Lots of New Library Words

Kindergarten children have been having fun listening to library stories and learning words that we will use all year in library and in our Trophies Reading program. So far we have talked about the words "title", "author", "illustrator", "characters", "setting", "problem" and "solution". We have been singing these words in a song we call "Hi Ho Librario". The tune comes from "The Farmer in the Dell".
Here are our verses so far this year:

The title names the book,
The title names the book,
Hi Ho Librario,
The title names the book.

The author writes the words, (holding imaginary pencil)
The author writes the words,
Hi Ho Librario,
The author writes the words.

The illustrator draws the pictures, (holding imaginary paintbrush)
The illustrator draws the pictures,
Hi Ho Librario
The illustrator draws the pictures.
