August 4, 2009 Storytime

The storytime on Friday went well, I was nervous going back after having a month off but the kids and parents were very enthusiastic. I looked at my collection of storytime books I have been acquiring the last few months and decided to just do some of my new arrival favorites. Actually I find most of the time when you don't do a theme the storytime goes really well! Not sure why, but it is an interesting observation.

Here are the books:

Book One:

Little Beauty by Anthony Browne

An adorable book about the friendship of two unlikey animals a gorillia and a tiny kitten. Artwork is an added plus, perfect big clear pictures for the kids. 

Song One: I Can Dance by Ronno

Book Two:

Can You Make A Scary Face? by Jan Thomas
An interactive book, where children can participate with the actions in the book. Kids love the interactive part of the book a nice mix up from the sit still storytime routine.
Song Two: Do the Monkey
Book Three:
Put It On The List! by Kristen Darbyshire
All grownups will love this book especially moms. A family of chickens goes through a crazy week where they run out of all sorts of things including toliet paper. Finally Momma Chicken shows the kids to put it on the list any items that they run out of during the week. The book ends with the whole family going to the grocery store together. Super sweet and the kids laughed at the many funny parts.
Ending Song: If You're Happy and You Know It
Next Storytime: Opposites or Libraries
