Here are the stories and songs we presented during Baby Storytime at Jefferson Branch Library in July 2023.
Where is the Green Sheep? by Mem Fox, illustrated by Judy Horarek
A story about many different sheep, and one that seems to be missing.
Littles & How they grow by Kelly DiPucchio, illustrated by Ag Ford
A rhyming celebration of babies, or Littles, who are cared for by loved ones in every way and grow big in the blink of an eye.
There, There by Taro Miura
“The answer to the question “What does the animal say?” takes a clever turn when a “cluck, cluck,” a “woof, woof,” and a “moo, moo” are met with a toddler’s “wah, wah!” Uh-oh! Now the frog also says…”
Songs
Peek-a-boo
· Peek-a-boo, peek-a-boo
(Cover face with hands two times)
· I see you! I see you!
(Point to children)
· I see your button nose
(Point to nose)
· I see your tiny toes
· (Point to toes)
· I see you! Peek-a-boo!
(Cover face with hand two times)
“One Finger”
· One finger
· One thumb
· One arm
· One leg
· One nod of the head
· And fall into bed!
(Pick baby up and bring down to your lap)
I Love You
· I love you
· Your button nose
· Your eyes, your ears,
· Your knees and toes.
· I love you
· Up to the sky
· Past the moon
· And stars so high,
· If you feel alone and scared,
· Always know that I’ll be there,
· Just like one and one makes two,
· You love me
· And I love you.
Ending Song
“Clap, Clap, Clap your Hands”
· Clap, clap clap your hands
· Clap your hands together
· Clap, clap, clap your hands
· Clap, your hands together
· Bounce, bounce, bounce up high
· Bounce, up high together
· Bounce, bounce, bounce up high
· Bounce, up high together
· Give, give, give a hug
· Give a hug together
· Give, give, give a hug
· Give a hug together
· Wave, wave, wave good-bye
· Wave good-bye together
· Wave, wave, wave good-bye
· Wave good-bye together
