These are the stories and songs we presented during Baby Storytime at Jefferson Branch Library in November 2023.

Everything You by Elizabeth McPike and illustrated by Jay Fleck

A mother and father welcome a new baby into their lives.

 

Auntie and Me by Karen Katz

Auntie is coming for a very special visit! Peek under the easy-to-lift flaps to see why a day with Auntie is filled with big surprises

 

Little You by Richard Van Camp and illustrated by Julie Flett

Celebrating the joy babies bring into the world.

 

Yummy Yucky by Leslie Patricelli

A toddler finds out that spaghetti is yummy, but worms — and blue crayons, and sand, and other things too gross to mention — are definitely yucky when tasted.

Songs

Opening Rhyme

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

 

“If you’re Happy and You Know It”

· If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands
· If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands
· If you’re happy and you know it and you really want to show it
· If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands 

· If you’re happy and you know it stomp your feet
· If you’re happy and you know it stomp your feet
· If you’re happy and you know it and you really want to show it
· If you’re happy and you know it stomp your feet 

· If you’re happy and you know it shout hurray (hurray)
· If you’re happy and you know it shout hurray (hurray)
· If you’re happy and you know it and you really want to show it
· If you’re happy and you know it shout hurray (hurray) 

· If you’re happy and you know it do all three
(Hurray)
· If you’re happy and you know it do all three
(Hurray)
· If you’re happy and you know it and you really wants to show it 
· If you’re happy and you know it do all three 
(Hurray)

 

“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
