Books   Wide-Mouthed Frog by Keith Faulkner.  Great opener & great readaloud! Carson fell over backwards! Try to gurgle the r in "frog" and don't forget to pinch up your mouth at the end for the alligator encounter.  I Don't Want to Be a Frog  by Dev Petty. Little Froggie is complaining bitterly to Froggie Dad about being a wet, slimy creature instead of an owl, say, or maybe a pig.  Until they bump into a wolf.... Ribbit by Folgueira,.  99 Tadpoles by Ken Kimura.  It gripped us! They were a bit wiggly today, so I told them the story of the Turtle Who Flew below Big Frog Can't Fit  In by Mo Willems. The sheer engineering genius of this book makes up for its underwhelming story. Try pushing the sad big frog/good friends angle. Little Quack's New Friend by Lauren Thompson I held up two turtle puppets and showed them the cracks on their backs. "This is the story of why turtles have cracks on their backs.  The birds and the turtles all lived along the sh

But let's start our storytime off with something more fun. Eric Litwin does it again, giving us a bedtime book in perfect sing song rhyme about those nuts who don't want to go to bed. When children come back later and ask for a book, you know it's great! Getting Ready for Bed: There's a Nightmare in My Closet by Mercer Mayer. Night time fears? We've all got them. Getting Ready for Bed:   Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late! Also, Pigeon Needs a Bath ("I Do Not!") by Mo Willems Nobody fights harder than the pigeon. How Do Dinosaurs Say Good Night by Jane Yolen. Always fun. Young group, so this really worked. Book of Sleep, Lights Out, Nights Out by Boniface, and Sweet Dreams b

:   Games Magic Envelope time!   This is when I used the wonderful Magic Envelope I had all the ingredients on the blackboard and told them we were going to make a pirate, what would we need? Would we need a flower? They caught on very fast, great involvement. (Thanks so much,  Sharon Hrycewic  pronounced Rice-Witts for sharing  at http://storytime.readingchick.com/ !) Books Superhero Me! by Karen Katz. This cute little board book was a good start for the theme. Are We There Yet by Dan Santat. Perfect. Tiger in My Soup by Kashmira Sheth.  Also perfect. Sea & Rex by Molly Idle.  Cute trip to the beach w. friendly dino in tow. Good Thing You're Not an Octopus by Julie Markes kept everyone interested, puzzling over what life would be like with 200 teeth or twelve feet. Pirates Don't Take Baths by John Segal. I started losing them here. Even the good listeners weren't very sympathetic to this tale. This year I tried  Come Away from the Water, Shirley by John Burningh
