Here are the stories and songs we presented during Baby Storytime at Jefferson Branch Library in October 2023.
 
 
Peek a Who? by Nina Ladin
The reader can look through die-cut pages for a visual clue to complete a game of peek-a-boo.
The Artist who Painted a Blue Horse by Eric Carle
Rather than use the same old colors, a child paints animals and objects in a variety of different hues.
 
Sharing by Yusuke Yonezu
When two rabbits want the same carrot, how can they decide who gets it? When two monkeys want the same banana, what are they to do? The answer becomes clear when you turn the die-cut pages to find the answers underneath in this clever concept book from a board book master.
Do cows Meow? by Salina Yoon
“Do cows sing? Do cows coo? All I know is cows go–moo!…”
Little Blue truck’s Halloween by Alice Schertle and illustrated by Jill McElmurry
Little Blue Truck is picking up his animal friends for a Halloween costume party.

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
