Baby/Toddler Story Time, 8/23

The air conditioning isn't working again, so today's story time reflects 90 minutes of sweat (mine) and tears (many of the babies.) I don't have time to write more commentary right now because I'm off to a children's librarians' meeting!

Opening Song: Hello, how are you?

Book: A Child's Day: An Alphabet of Play by Ida Searles (2008)
Not a great choice for reading aloud, even if the pictures are great for babies.

Song: One Little Finger
Song: Tommy Thumb by Sharon, Lois, and Bram

Book: Leap Back Home To Me by Lauren Thompson, illustrated by Matthew Cordell (2011)
A nice one for rhyming, but sort of on the boring side. I tried to get the grown-ups to ribbit with me, but with little success. Nice read-alike for The Runaway Bunny, though.

Song: Shake My Sillies Out

Song: Head and Shoulders (Session 1 only)

Song: Hands Are For Clapping by Jim Gill (Session 1 only)

Song: Mary Had a Little Lamb (Session 2 only)

Song: You Are My Sunshine (Session 2 only)

Book: The Babies on the Bus by Karen Katz  (2011)

Song: ABCD Medley

Song: Chickadee

Goodbye Song: We Wave Goodbye Like This
