What a fun storytime we had this morning! I shared the following books and rhymes this morning with the toddlers:
Little bugs of all shapes and sizes show off their differences in rhyming text.
Two Little Sparkly Bugs Rhyme:
Two little sparkly bugs sitting on a hill
One named Beatrice and one named Bill
Fly away Beatrice, fly away Bill
Come back Beatrice, come back Bill.
Unfold the flaps on every page and see what is the shortest, the fastest, the deepest, the tallest, the highest and the biggest.
Five Royal Penguins
One royal penguin, feeling very blue,
called for his brother, then there were two.
Two royal penguins swimming in the sea,
called for their sister, then there were three.
Three royal penguins waddle on the shore,
call for their mother, then there were four.
Four royal penguins learning how to dive,
call for their father, then they were five.
"With the help of simple clues-- in words
and pictures-- young children can guess the pet that hides behind each
flap. Then they can open the flap to find a great surprise: an animal
friend that pops right out!"--P. [4] of cover.
Five Little Snowmen
Five little snowmen standing in a row,
Each had a hat and a big bow.
Out came the sun and it shone all day,
One little snowman melted away.
Four little snowmen standing in a row,
Each had a hat and a big bow.
Out came the sun and it shone all day,
One little snowman melted away....
When Mr. Horse gives a ride to his friends, Cat, Dog, Pig, and Duck, they urge him to go faster and faster. (Super fun as a lap read!)
