In lieu of today’s planned eStorytime, we had a regular storytime with books and music in a frogs theme. (Our network for the iPads was down.)\n<\/p>\n

\nFirst we read The Big Wide-Mouthed Frog <\/a>by Ana Mart\u00edn Larra\u00f1aga. Wide-mouthed frog goes around bragging about how big his mouth is and what he eats, until he discovers a crocodile has been listening! The story is very smartly told with fun pictures.\n<\/p>\n

\"Big<\/a><\/p>\n

\nNext we acted out Five Little Speckled Frogs<\/a>. We wore froggy hats and each took a turn jumping from the step into the “pool” we placed on the ground using our imaginations.\n<\/p>\n

\n(I couldn’t find a picture of our frog caps, but this one looks cute and easy to make!)\n<\/p>\n

\"Frog<\/p>\n

\nThen we read another book called Stick<\/a> by Steve Breen. The little frog’s surprising journey is illustrated wonderfully, with cinematic images of him floating with balloons and going SPLAT! into a windshield!\n<\/p>\n

\"Stick\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\nWe read That’s Mine<\/a>! by Michel Van Zeveren, a funny story about a crowd of animals all claiming a mysterious egg as their own, and then hastily denying their claims when they are afraid to anger the biggest animal of all!\n<\/p>\n

\"Thats<\/a><\/p>\n

\nWe finished storytime by dancing The Croaky Pokey<\/a> adapted from the book by Ethan Long. It’s basically the Hokey Pokey, but with a few lines revised for our green, webbed-footed friends \ud83d\ude42\n<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

\nThe rain has been coming down today (and somewhere, the frogs are happy!) so storytime attendance was small and intimate. Hope everyone has a nice place to curl up with a good book on this rainy day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
