We read bedtime stories, revisited the nursery rhyme, This Little Pi<\/em>ggy, sang a traditional lullaby with a modern twist,\u00a0played a bedtime version of Peekaboo,\u00a0AND hit the hay!\u00a0 (Hopefully nobody actually fell asleep during the storytimes).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Infant Storytime<\/em>:\u00a0 All babies LOVE Peekaboo games.\u00a0 Peekaboo Bedtime<\/strong> by Rachel Isadora\u00a0shows baby playing peekaboo with mommy, daddy, grandma, grandpa, cat, dog, slippers, duck and more until FINALLY baby sees YOU<\/em>!\u00a0 Bright, beautiful illustrations and simple text make this the perfect\u00a0book for infants.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A lullaby in book format with a modern twist!\u00a0 Hush Little Alien<\/strong> by Daniel Kirk has papa alien singing his version of Hush Little Baby<\/em> to his baby alien.\u00a0\u00a0Bold illustrations and space-themed lyrics make this a fun take on a classic.\u00a0 The infants were mesmerized by the lilting tune and\u00a0 the picture book’s bright, colorful imagery.\u00a0 A big hit during infant storytime.\u00a0 After the lullaby, it seemed like a good idea to pull out\u00a0Denise Fleming’s picture book,\u00a0\u00a0Sleepy, Oh So Sleepy.\u00a0 <\/strong>The illustrations are softer, showing all kinds of baby animals that are sleepy, oh so sleepy…<\/p>\n

The toddlers got their rendition of Hush Little Alien<\/strong> followed by another twist on a classic – This Little Piggy<\/strong> by Tim Harrington.\u00a0 Of course the littlie piggies in this book are on baby’s feet and they do more than eat roast beef and stay home…they dig dancing, fly planes,have costume parties, chew gum…the list goes on and on.\u00a0\u00a0With all that activity it’s no wonder they get tired out\u00a0and really want a good night’s sleep.\u00a0 We also read Cynthia Rylant’s Brownie and Pearl Hit the Hay.\u00a0 <\/strong>Best friends Brownie and Pearl (the kitty) show us what they do to get ready for bed – they take a bath, put on jammies, have a little snack (chocolate chip cookies), read a bedtime story and finally curl up in bed and fall asleep.\u00a0 A great book for toddlers, the children were fascinated with the familiar ritual of bedtime and the colorful illustrations.\u00a0 Besides who can resist Brownie and Pearl’s unique bond – every toddler wants a kitty for a special friend…don’t they?<\/p>\n

We ended with the very popular DVD – Good Night Maisy <\/strong>(complete with Maisy’s bedtime ritual, which includes a shout out to toddlers who are potty training.)<\/p>\n
