Mommy & Me Storytime

The fun at Mommy & Me storytime continued through September. Here’s a brief summary of what we did and links to the library catalog for the books and music CDs we used.

Our storytime on September 15 was very silly! We started with the song “Shake My Sillies Out” which can be found on Raffi’s “More Singable Songs” CD. We read Silly Little Goose by Nancy Tafuri and Silly Sally by Audrey Wood. We ended with a silly story called Bark, George about a dog who doesn’t bark but makes lots of other animal sounds. Silly George!

Mommy & Me on September 22 was all about hands, fingers, feet and toes, and all the parts that make us who we are. We started with Hap Palmer’s version of the song “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes” from his “Early Childhood Classics” CD. We read Busy Fingers by C.W. Bowie and then did the song and motions to “Itsy Bitsy Spider” just like the boy in the book. Our second book was a new one by Mem Fox titled Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes. We finished up playing with our sponge teddy bears to Hap Palmer’s song “Teddy Bear Playtime” from his “So Big” CD. We sure had fun at storytime!

We visited the farm in our books and songs during our Mommy & Me Storytime on September 29. Our first book, Peek-a-Moo!, by Marie Torres Cimarusti, was a lift-the-flap book about farm animals and the sounds they make. We also read a special pop-up book called My Giant Book of Snappy Farm. We ended our storytime by playing our instruments to “Old MacDonald’s Band” from Hap Palmer’s “Rhythms on Parade” CD. We can’t wait to go back and visit the farm!
