OUR STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Sweetly illustrated, Time for a Bath!<\/strong><\/em> by Phillis Gershator\u00a0may have been a bit too long for the infants (even though I paraphrased).\u00a0 A little baby bunny explores the world\u00a0by making a mess, spilling, rolling around in the grass, digging a hole…and getting dirt between each toe.\u00a0 After each adventure, it’s “Time for a bath!”\u00a0 This is a really wonderful book with lots of rhyme and repetition – it might have worked better for our Infant Storytime if the illustrations were larger, but overall I could see that some of the infants were engaged in the story.\u00a0 It makes a great lap read.<\/p>\n

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

I sensed the babies weren’t ready for another story so I moved on to a flannel board activity, but I wanted to share the premise of this one.\u00a0 It is actually a great book for infants.\u00a0\u00a0What usually happens before bedtime?\u00a0 A bath!\u00a0 Sandra Boynton makes her animal characters come alive as we see them standing on the deck of a boat right before bedtime.\u00a0 The bedtime ritual begins with all of them racing down below to take a bath in “one big tub”.\u00a0 We see them hang up their towels on the wall, find their pajamas, brush their teeth and go up to the deck\u00a0when the moon rises.\u00a0\u00a0 What they do on the deck seems a little strange before bedtime (I’ll keep that part a secret), but it lends an element of humor to the story.\u00a0 Of course they eventually say good night, turn off the lights and “rock, and rock and rock to sleep.”<\/p>\n
