Sounds Storytime for Babies, Wednesday, February 3 @ 10:30

Image
Books: Quiet, Loud by Leslie Patricelli. I love ALL Patricelli's books and this one is perfect for showing quiet and LOUD! Snappy Sounds , one of those noisy board books by Harwood, I introduced: "Now we will be quiet again and read a book. Reading books is such a nice, quiet thing to do." The moms really did get quiet at that point -- so that you could almost hear the barking and meowing and cheeping noises that came from this silly book -- except since when do bunnies go B-o-i-n-g? I skipped that page. The text is cute and rhymy. Gooble Gooble Mooooo Tractor Book by Jez Alborough.  Might need to shorten a bit for the very young ones, but Alzborough's created a perfect amalgamation here of animal sounds and machine sounds. Peek-a-Boo by Marie Torres Cimarusti.  This is a very nice peekaboo book about simple, unscary Halloween creatures: an unscary witch, an unscary skeleton, an unscary ghost, etc.   Songs: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star with my little pitch pipe is...

Fish Storytime, Wednesday, February 22

Image
B o o k s Pop-Up Commotion in the Ocean by Andreae Silly Faces Board Book -- the kids were a bit shy about this. Deep Sea Dive by Salina Yoon.  Luckily, I had a lot of the puppets for this. Bedtime Kiss for Little Fish by Lorie Ann Grover P l a y s I gathered up all my sea creature puppets and put them in my Old MacDonald bag.  "Let's go fishing!" I told the kids. "Let's throw out our hook!  Reel it in, and see what we caught!" Then I pulled a creature out of the bag.  No! We don't want to keep him! The octopus had too many legs; the shark too many teeth; the dolphin was too nice; the sea turtle was endangered; the sea horse was too beautiful; and finally we caught a fish. (Use the crab too!!!) (Sung to the melody of Wheels on the Bus.) I passed out the scarves and we practiced being waves first. 1. The waves on the sea go up and down, up and down, up and down, the waves on the sea go up and down all day long. 2. The shark in the sea goes snap snap s...

Sheep Storyhour

Image
The babies were far from sheep-ish at our sheep storyhour today! My storytelling chair was full of them! I felt like the Three Bears confronted with that Goldilocks person. Books:  Where is the Green Sheep by Mem Fox was a major hit.  I looked up at one point and the babies were all listening! I don't expect this to happen again any time soon, but a roomful of attentive toddlers is kind of amazing. This book is short, rhymes, works on colors, but most important, I think, is that its them is where is it. We love object permanence , don't we? So reassuring when we find that sheep asleep. Time to Sleep, Sheep the Sheep  by Mo Willems.  Shows the animals doing activities kids understand, bath etc. Baa-Choo!  by Sarah Weeks (easy reader) about a sheep who can't finish his sneeze. This cute book was a bit long for the babies. Songs:   I was so amazed to discover that all the mamas knew Mary Had a Little Lamb AND Baa Baa Black Sheep!  From Kathy Reid-Naiman...
