Here are the stories and songs we presented during Baby Storytime at Jefferson Branch Library in April 2023.
Kiss Baby’s Boo-Boo Lift-the-Flap book by Karen Katz
Young readers are invited to lift flaps to reveal the best ways to cure a boo-boo.
Will sheep sleep? by Hilary Leung
After Sheep’s long day, his friends help him go through his bedtime routines before he goes to sleep.
Everyone’s Sleepy but the Baby by Tracy C. Gold, illustrator Adele Dafflon
After a long day, the whole family is ready to hit the hay . . . except for the baby. Why is it so hard to get the baby to sleep?
Yummy Yucky by Leslie Patricelli
A toddler finds out that spaghetti is yummy, but worms — and blue crayons, and sand, and other things too gross to mention — are definitely yucky when tasted.
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
