OUR OPENING SONGS:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Welcome, Welcome<\/strong><\/p>\n

Welcome, welcome everyone,<\/p>\n

Now we’re here, let’s have some fun<\/p>\n

First we clap our hands just so,<\/p>\n

Then we bend and touch our toes<\/p>\n

Welcome, welcome,\u00a0everyone<\/p>\n

Now we’re here, let’s have some fun!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Clap Everybody and Say Hello!<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Clap everybody and say hello,<\/p>\n

Clap everybody and say hello,<\/p>\n

Clap everybody and say hello,<\/p>\n

No matter what the weather…<\/p>\n

OUR BOOKS:<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Meeow and his friends each have a little chair but it’s what “clever” Meeow does with the chairs that makes for an interesting finale.\u00a0 Sebastian Braun’s use of\u00a0bold colors and large,\u00a0bright illustrations (along with exploring the concept of size), \u00a0makes this book a perfect read aloud for both infants and toddlers.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

There are reasons Charlie the Chicken has big tummy, big feet and a big wide beak – he loves to eat!\u00a0 But, there is one more reason – he has a rather large hen for a mother!\u00a0 This pop-up book always keeps the infants engaged as each page promises a three dimensional surprise.\u00a0 Nick Denchfield and Ant Parker do a marvelous job of making a simple story about size (BIG) into something delightful and funny for all ages.<\/p>\n

The Grand Old Duke of York<\/strong><\/p>\n

The grand old Duke of York,<\/p>\n

He had 10,000 men,<\/p>\n

He marched them up to the top of the hill, (hold baby up in the air)<\/p>\n

And he marched them down again! (bring baby down to lap)<\/p>\n

And when they’re up, they’re up, (hold baby high again)<\/p>\n

And when they’re down, they’re down, (bring baby back down to lap)<\/p>\n

And when they’re only halfway up, (hold baby halfway up from lap)<\/p>\n

They’re neither up (bring baby up)<\/p>\n

Nor down! (bring baby back down to lap)<\/p>\n
