Your child hears the D sound again and again, sees the capital letter D — and watches Dream Dog curl up against a log to make a D: straight on one side, round on the other! Then meets twelve D words right on the beat: duck, drum, dinosaur, door, doll, donut, dolphin, digger, deer, dragon, diamond and dice.
What your child learns
- The letter D and its sound – duh
- D words: duck, drum, dinosaur, door, doll, donut, dolphin, digger, deer, dragon, diamond, dice

The words
D is for Dream Dog, Dream Dog, Dream Dog! D is for Dream Dog – duh, duh, D!
Duh-duh-duck goes quack, quack, quack, duh-duh-drum goes rat-a-tat-tat,
duh-duh-dinosaur, big and slow, D is for Dream Dog – off we go!
Duh-duh-door goes knock, knock, knock, duh-duh-doll with a spotty frock,
duh-duh-donut, round and sweet, D is for Dream Dog – tap your feet!
Shh… Dream Dog's dreaming, straight on one side, round on the other,

Say it with me: duh! Say it again: duh! Stomp your feet: duh! Pat your knees: duh!
Duh-duh-dragon, puff, puff, puff, duh-duh-diamond, shiny stuff,
duh-duh-dice, roll one, two, three, D is for Dream Dog – you and me!
About the song
Tardy is a little water bear who lives in the mushroom house in Mossland. Dream Dog is a sleepy puppy in a DREAM BIG T-shirt – and when he curls up for a nap, he makes the letter D!
Great for letter of the day D, preschool phonics, kindergarten alphabet lessons, toddler learning at home and nursery circle time.
