Here are the stories and songs we presented during Baby Storytime at Jefferson Branch Library in January 2023.
Brown Bear (Fabric Board)
Children see a variety of animals, each one a different color, and a teacher looking at them.
I Kissed the Baby by Mary Murphy
Various animals tell how they saw, fed, sang to, tickled, and kissed the new duckling.
Maisy’s Rainbow Dream by Lucy Cousins
In a dream, Maisy sees different things for each color of the rainbow.
Cat’s Colors by Airlie Anderson
Cat spends the day collecting colors, and when she is finished something wonderful happens.
I Love All of Me by Lorie Ann Grover. Illustrated by Carolina Buzio
Rhyming text and colorful illustrations remind young reader to love everything about themselves, from the top of their head to the tips of their toes.
Songs
Opening Rhyme
Peek-a-boo
· Peek-a-boo, peek-a-boo
(Cover face with hands two times)
· I see you! I see you!
(Point to children)
· I see your button nose
(Point to nose)
· I see your tiny toes
· (Point to toes)
· I see you! Peek-a-boo!
(Cover face with hand two times)
“One Finger”
· One finger
· One thumb
· One arm
· One leg
· One nod of the head
· And fall into bed!
(Pick baby up and bring down to your lap)
I Love You
· I love you
· Your button nose
· Your eyes, your ears,
· Your knees and toes.
· I love you
· Up to the sky
· Past the moon
· And stars so high,
· If you feel alone and scared,
· Always know that I’ll be there,
· Just like one and one makes two,
· You love me
· And I love you.
Ending Song
“Clap, Clap, Clap your Hands”
· Clap, clap clap your hands
· Clap your hands together
· Clap, clap, clap your hands
· Clap, your hands together
· Bounce, bounce, bounce up high
· Bounce, up high together
· Bounce, bounce, bounce up high
· Bounce, up high together
· Give, give, give a hug
· Give a hug together
· Give, give, give a hug
· Give a hug together
· Wave, wave, wave good-bye
· Wave good-bye together
· Wave, wave, wave good-bye
· Wave good-bye together
