This book is long for toddlers, but it has a lot of call and response stuff, and the characters are well known, so I gave it a shot. It was a smart move. Everybody loved it!
Song with ukulele: Let’s Take a Ride in an Automobile (from Sesame Street)
I wondered how this book would go over, and I think it was kind of a flop. The text is just a bit too stilted to make sense. The illustrations are perfect, though.
You can never go wrong singing The Wheels on the Bus, with or without a book.
Letter of the Day: Letter J
- Mr. Scarecrow’s Jack o’Lantern

Songs with Ukulele: ABCs/Twinkle Twinkle Little Star/Baa Baa Black Sheep
Flannel Board Rhyme: Signs of Fall
I wrote this rhyme last year and never used it, so I tried it out. It was good, but there were people sitting behind me, who insist on leaning against a wall, so it was hard to keep the rhythm of the rhyme and make sure everyone could see the flannel pieces at the same time.
Song: Brown Squirrel
Rhyme: Blue is the Lake
Song: If You’re Happy and You Know It
Song: Chickadee
I use the same hello and goodbye songs at almost every session. Click here for the tunes and words. For descriptions of each of my story times, click here.
