I Love My Library
SING
Let your little ones know that story time is about to begin with this song. As they learn the actions and the words they will join in as you get settled.
If You're Ready for a Story
(Tune: If You're Happy and you Know It)
If you're ready for a story, Clap your hands! If you're ready for a story, Clap your hands! If you're ready for a story, If you're ready for a story, If you're ready for a story, Clap your hands!
Repeat with:
...nod your head.
...rub your tummy.
...sit so still, shhhh!
Music and singing promotes language building, listening skills and memory. Sing every day!

RHYME
Read, Read, Read A Book
(Tune: Row, Row, Row Your Boat)
Read, read, read a book,
Travel anywhere
Worldwide, you decide,
A book will take you there.
Read, read, read, a book,
Beginning to the end,
What a way to spend the day,
A book's a special friend!
