Session 1
Opening Song: Hello, how are you?
Song with Puppet: You Are My Sunshine
I love all of Anthony Browne's books, but this one is a little less complicated than some of his others, and therefore more appropriate for toddlers. The kids seemed to react well to it, for the most part.
Song: If You're Happy and You Know It
Song: Shake My Sillies Out
My library's copy of this book is starting to fall apart. I am dismayed
Song: H-A-P-P-Y
I'll be posting about this song on Friday when I will participate in Flannel Friday for the first time in weeks!
Song: Head and Shoulders
Song: I'm a Little Teapot
I wished that I had led with this book. It's longer and more poetic than the others and I had a hard time keeping the group's attention through it.
Rhyme: Blue is the Lake
Song: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Song: Moon Moon Moon
Song: ABC Song
Song: Chickadee
Goodbye Song: We Wave Goodbye Like This
Session 2
Opening Song: Hello, how are you?
Song with Puppet: You Are My Sunshine
This is a terrible story time book. I would never have read it to any group except that someone took My Many Colored Days without telling me, and I discovered it at one minute before 11. I grabbed this because I saw it and it fit the theme, but then I only read a few pages, because it just wasn't a good read-aloud at all.

I feel you! I think we have similar sized groups since you do back to back too. I had a kid take the ONE book I was planning to read and no parent fessed up to it even when I said it was going to throw off my whole storytime plan. It showed up on my rolling cart later. Every now and again I'll have a flannel piece disappear which bums me out so much!!! Your blog is great and I know your storytimes are too. Sorry for the crummy day.
