Books We Shared<\/h4>\n

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

Nancy Tafuri<\/a> has beautiful books for little ones, because the pictures are so big and clear.\u00a0 As our first book in infant storytime we shared her book\u00a0Goodnight, My Duckling<\/span><\/a>, about a duckling who dawdles behind his mama and siblings, and almost gets lost!<\/p>\n

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

I Kissed the Baby! by Mary Murphy<\/a> was our second duck-focused book.\u00a0 There’s a new baby on the farm, and all the animals are excited!\u00a0 This is a great story to do the different actions with your little one.<\/p>\n
