Opening Song: Hello, how are you?
Book: Farmyard Beat by Lindsay Craig, illustrated by Marc Brown (2011)
This is a GREAT read-aloud for small groups as well as big ones. I asked the kids to identify each animal and also repeat the sounds after me. Perfect for a pajama story time!
Book: Owl Babies by Martin Waddell, illustrated by Patrick Benson (1992)
I love this story. It's got a plot, and yet is still simple enough to read to very small kids.
Song: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
Book: May I Bring a Friend? by Beatrice Schenk de Regniers, illustrated by Beni Montresor (1966)
I love introducing this book to families who don't know it yet. I also love it when kids giggle at the various animals' hi-jinks. Both things happened this time!
Book: Mommies Say Shhh! by Patricia Polacco (2007)
A perfect ending to a quiet story time. Everyone made the animal sounds and seemed to enjoy making the shushing sound as well.
Song: Moon Moon Moon
The three-year-old boy was very unenthusiastic about singing, but seeing his face light up when I sang about the moon looking like a pizza pie was so worth it. Adorable!
Goodbye Song: We Wave Goodbye Like This
