Duck Storytime

I'm excited that I will be doing this storytime twice this month, at two different libraries.

I found this cute little duckling on on the Internet and couldn't resist posting it!

Books

Little Quack
by Lauren Thompson; illustrated by Derek Anderson

Come Along, Daisy
by Jane Simmons

The second time I did the storytime I had a more attentive/older group so we read Fluffy and Baron for our 2nd book.

I Have a Little Duck
(tune: Wheels on the Bus)

I have a little duck that says “quack, quack, quack”
“Quack, quack, quack”
“Quack, quack, quack”
I have a little duck that says “Quack, quack, quack”
All day long!

I have a little duck that bobs up and down
Up and down
Up and down
I have a little duck that bobs up and down
All day long!

I have a little duck that goes splash, splash, splash
Splash, splash, splash
Splash, splash, splash
I have a little duck that goes splash, splash, splash
All day long!

I have a little duck that goes waddle, waddle, waddle
Waddle, waddle, waddle
Waddle, waddle, waddle
I have a little duck that goes waddle, waddle, waddle

All day long!

The children added verses for dancing and running!

Five Little Ducks
5 little ducks went out to play
Over the hills and far away
When the mother duck said,
“Quack, quack, quack, quack”
4 little ducks came waddling back.

Continue counting down to “no little ducks came waddling back”

But when the Daddy Duck said,
“QUACK, QUACK, QUACK!”

5 little ducks came waddling back!



Supercharged 
What I did:  Count the ducks along the bottom of the page in the book Little Quack
Point out the numerals in the book, Little Quack

Parent Tip:  Take time to count with your child.  You can count just about anything!
