Pre-K Opposites Storytime, Friday, January 20 @ 10:30

Books: Pop-Up Book: Animal Opposites by Horacek.  Gorgeousity.  Great attention getter. Caldecott Winner and a true Gripping Tale: Lion and the Mouse by Jerry Pinkney. Although I admired the beautiful pictures in this book as much as anyone, I never thought I'd be using it for a storytime. But the very traditional tale worked out perfectly. Because it's a wordless book, it really lends itself to prediction -- prediction is all there is! What are those men unloading? A net! (A gasp goes up.) The kids ALL listened, even 20 month old Peter. This works year after year.   Fun Read: I'm the Biggest Thing in the Ocean by Kevin Sherry. I love this cute, funny tale, and so did the kids.

Moo by David LaRochelle has exactly two words -- but what great two words!  Horseplay! by Karma Wilson.  What are those horses doing all night? Not sleeping, that's for sure! Old Mikamba Had a Farm   by Rachel Isadora   is about a game preserve   in Africa. I love teaching the idea of farms being something besides acreage in the US. Besides, its nice to read a book for this storyhour theme that isn't all mooing and quacking -- lots of lions roaring! The kids were so wiggly I just talked about farms and showed a few pages. Going to Sleep on the Farm  by Lewison I picked this out because it's very short but has a little nice information about how animals sleep -- standing up, lying down, cuddling like piggies, etc.  The kids had kind of lost it by this time, however. Dinosaur Farm by Frann Preston-Gannon...
