These are the stories and songs we presented during Baby Storytime at Jefferson Branch Library in September 2023.
Applesauce is fun to wear by Nancy Raines Day, illustrated by Jane Massey
Babies and toddlers delight in making a mess at mealtime.
Thank you bees by Toni Yuly
Encourages one to be aware of their relationship to the world around them, and to express gratitude for the gifts given to them.
Everything: I love everything about you by Emma Dodd
What does a mother love most about her baby? Everything.
Ten tiny toes by Caroline Jayne Church
Combines art with rhymes in an adaptation of the classic song, “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes,” that reveals how ears wiggle and bellies giggle.
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
