Animals kiss in so many different ways, and you can see many of them in Mary Murphy’s A Kiss Like This.<\/span>\u00a0 Parents and their little ones practiced all of them as we read the story during infant storytime.\u00a0 Baby Loves Hugs and Kisses<\/span> in Michael Lawrence’s book — giving and receiving them!\u00a0 This warm story is lovely because it highlights so many different relationships that are important to baby.\u00a0 And the illustrations of Baby giving hugs are rather hilarious.<\/p>\n

For toddler storytime, we started with a trip to the farm in All Kinds of Kisses<\/span> by Nancy Tafuri.\u00a0 We made different animal noises as we saw all kinds of farm animals express their love. \u00a0 At 10am storytime, we followed this up with a look at all sorts of animal cuddling in The Cuddle Book.<\/span>\u00a0 For 11am, we discovered what big sister Minka was making in Mouse’s First Valentine.<\/span><\/p>\n

5 Little Valentines<\/span>
\n\"Five<\/a>
\nFive little valentines were having a race.
\nThe first little valentine was frilly with lace.
\nThe second little valentine had a funny face.
\nThe third little valentine said, \u201cI love you.\u201d
\nThe fourth little valentine said, \u201cI do, too.\u201d
\nThe fifth little valentine was sly as a fox,
\nHe ran fastest to the valentine box.
\nThis Valentine<\/span>
\n\"This<\/a>
\n(rhyme and pattern from Totline Magazine January\/February 1999 pg 22)<\/p>\n

This valentine is shaped like a square.
\nThis valentine is shaped like a bear.
\nThis valentine is shaped like a circle.
\nThis valentine is colored purple.
\nThis valentine is shaped like a rectangle.
\nThis valentine is shaped like a triangle.
\nThis valentine is shaped like a dove.
\nThis valentine is made with love.<\/p>\n

Nursery Rhyme<\/span><\/h2>\n

Jack and Jill
\n\"JackandJillFlannelboard1\"<\/a> \"JackandJillFlannelboard2\"<\/a>
\nJack and Jill went up the hill
\nto fetch a pail of water.
\nJack fell down
\nand broke his crown.
\nAnd Jill came tumbling after.<\/p>\n
