The fourth letter song, and the gentlest of them. Lilly holds a little duck, Gambo plays with a dog all day, Poff and a dolphin leap up out of the water together, Nibs gives a doll the biggest hug of all, and Toti meets a shy deer — two pairs of tall ears, and both say hi.
“D says duh, duh, duh! Drum your hands and say it!” The drumming is the trick: the sound is short and hard, and a hand on a table gives a child the beat of it. The quiz at the end leaves out an apple and a cat.
