This fall I was able to visit a daycare center for the first time since the pandemic began. It was so much fun to be sharing books with young children again.
In the toddler room (2.5 to 3.5 years old) I read a bunch of short books and sprinkled in a lot of fingerplays and action rhymes. These guys were still getting used to the ideas of sitting as a group for stories.
I started off by singing the "Animals Get Up In the Morning" song using my little red cloth barn full of small animals. Then I read these books:
Don't Push the Button by Bill Cotter
Maisy Drives the Bus by Lucy Cousins
Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons by Eric Litwin and James Dean
Peekaboo, Blueberry! by Barney Saltzberg (lift-flaps)
Truck Jam by Paul Stickland (pop-up)
I also read stories in the preschool and pre-K rooms. I was able try out a new book with these two classes. I read these books:
Don't Push the Button by Bill Cotter
Hooray for Hat! by Brian Won
Hot Pot Night! by Vincent Chin
Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons by Eric Litwin and James Dean
Supertruck by Stephen Savage
What's Next Door? by Nicola O'Byrne
