Our summer session of\u00a0Infant Storytime is underway.\u00a0 Each week\u00a0you\u2019ll find\u00a0a blog post that\u00a0covers the books, rhymes, songs, tickle, bounces, flannel stories, fingerplays and puppets we shared.\u00a0 I also\u00a0throw in some\u00a0information\u00a0about the benefits of reading, singing and talking to your baby!<\/p>\n

For our\u00a0seventh storytime of the session we\u00a0read about shoes and feet!\u00a0 We even met an old lady who lived in a shoe!!!<\/p>\n

Below you\u2019ll find a record\u00a0of everything we shared!<\/p>\n

FACT:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>The nursery rhyme\u00a0There Was an Old Lady Who Lived in a Shoe <\/em>has an interesting history.\u00a0 As our ideas about good parenting have changed, so have the words to some of the most well-known English nursery rhymes.\u00a0 The version we used is listed under the Nursery Rhymes section\u00a0below.\u00a0 If you’d like to read the original<\/strong> version click here:\u00a0 There Was an Old Lady\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

To be honest, it\u00a0was a bit hard for me to read the original because it sounds so harsh, but it was a reflection of an earlier time.\u00a0 The good news is that\u00a0we are moving toward a\u00a0more nurturing and supportive model of\u00a0parenting and teaching.<\/p>\n

BOOKS WE SHARED<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

In My New Shoes<\/strong> <\/em><\/a>written by Leilani Sparrow and illustrated by Dan Taylor, we see a baby bear who wakes up to find that his feet are growing!\u00a0 Time to buy some new shoes!!\u00a0 He and his dad head out on the train to the shoe store. On the way they see feet EVERYWHERE!\u00a0 Then the BIG decision – what type of shoes does baby bear need?\u00a0 Galoshes?\u00a0 Sandals?\u00a0 Sneakers? Shoes that\u00a0look like scary sharks???\u00a0 Baby bear decides that he just wants shoes that fit!\u00a0 This is the perfect story for infants about shoes.<\/p>\n

One Foot, Two Feet<\/strong> <\/em><\/a>by Peter Maloney and Felicia Zekauskas promises to be “an exceptional counting book” and it doesn’t disappoint.\u00a0 I had to shorten it a bit to fit an infant’s attention span but there is so much counting that there is more than enough content within the first half of the book.\u00a0 We start with one foot and turn the page to find two feet, we start with one mouse, then turn the page to find three mice, one goose turns into four and one snowman turns into five!!!\u00a0 We ended there because I told everyone the snowmen melted in the summer heat.\u00a0To make the book effective for babies, I created a rhythmic counting pattern with each new page which\u00a0kept the infants\u00a0engaged and reinforced the math concept.<\/p>\n
