Begin by singing Raffi’s Shake My Sillies Out.
Book: Stuck In the Mud by Jane Clarke – a cute story & well received.
Book: Barnyard Banter by Denise Fleming. We “sang” the story (to the tune of “Skip To My Lou,”) and the kids helped with the animal sounds. We also used a goose puppet which would briefly appear when the story asked, “Where’s Goose?,” and ultimately stole the book at the end. This was a great way to read it!
Puppet Story: The Pigeon Wants a Puppy by Mo Willems. We turned this soon-to-be-a-classic book into a really funny puppet show.
Song: I Know a Chicken by Laurie Berkner from the CD Whaddya Think Of That? We passed out plastic easter eggs with beans inside and shook them as directed by the song.
Book: Tickle the Duck! by Ethan Long. We took the book into the audience and let the kids really tickle the duck – so fun!
Book: Duck! Rabbit! by Amy Krouse Rosenthal. Another successful story, this one is great for reading with two people.
Song: Doing the Penguin from the CD Sesame Street Hot! Hot! Hot! Dance Songs. We passed out paper penguin feet for the kids to wear while we performed the actions.
