Mother Storyhour, Wednesday, May 10 @ 10:30

Books

• Who's My Mom by Jennings. Board Book. Nice enough.
• Over in the Meadow. I used the clothesline version in Mother's about the sea creatures.
• I Love Mom with the Very Hungry Caterpillar. Nice enough.
• Llama Llama Mad at Mama by Anna Dewdney. I skipped a couple pages, but llama meltdowns do happen.
• Pouch! by David Ezra Stein. Worked out fine with the puppets.  I was careful to use a baby voice for the baby kangaroo and show the kids how the baby lived in mama's pouch.
• Songs

• Over in the Meadow as a clothesline.
• If you love me and you know it, clap your hands, etc. Blow a kiss. Give me a hug. Definitely use.
• Skinnamarinka
• Over on the beach in the sand and the sun
  Lived a big mama turtle and her little turtle one
  Dig said the mama
  I dig, said the one
  And they swam all day in the sand and the sun.
  Over on the beach where the waves lap so blue
  Lived a mama seagull and her seagulls two
  Squawk! Said the mama
  We squawk! Said the two
  And they squawked all day where the waves lap so blue.
  Over on the beach near the tall palm tree
  Lived a little sandcrab
  And her baby sandcrabs three
  Crawl! Said the sandcrab! We crawl said the three
  And they crawled all day by the tall palm tree.
  Over on the beach on the sand by the shore
  Lived a mama pelican
  And her pelicans four
  Swoop! Said the mama. We swoop! said the four.
  And they swooped all day on the sand by the shore.
  Over in the water where the dolphins like to dive
  Lived a big mama fish and her baby fish five.
  Swim! Said the mama.
  We swim! Said the five. So they swam all day where the dolphins like to dive.
