Books
I choose two "newer" books to share with the preschoolers this week.

Rabbityness by Jo Empson (2012)

My Rocks (adapted from a poem I found online)
Last year the library received a small rock collection from a patron. I held up these rocks as I read the poem.
On a cold and rainy day
When I can't get out to play,
I open up my treasure box
And look at all my pretty rocks.
I have rocks from here and there
I have rocks from everywhere.
Some are smooth, some are rough
I never think I’ll have enough!
I have one that's shining clean
Another one that's white and spiny.
All of them recall good times
Places I've been, hills I've climbed.
When the sun comes out to stay,
I'll put all my rocks away.
Close the lid and safely hide
All my treasures safe inside.
When I can't get out to play,
I open up my treasure box
And look at all my pretty rocks.
I have rocks from here and there
I have rocks from everywhere.
Some are smooth, some are rough
I never think I’ll have enough!
I have one that's shining clean
Another one that's white and spiny.
All of them recall good times
Places I've been, hills I've climbed.
When the sun comes out to stay,
I'll put all my rocks away.
Close the lid and safely hide
All my treasures safe inside.
Ring Around the Rosie
(traditional)
Ring-a-round a rosie,
A pocket full of posies,
Ashes! Ashes!
A pocket full of posies,
Ashes! Ashes!
We all fall down.
Fishes in the ocean
Fishes in the sea
Let's jump up with a 1, 2, 3!
Mary Had a Little Lamb
Mary had a little lamb
It's fleece was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go.
It followed her to school one day
It was against the rules
It made the students laugh and play
To see a lamb at school!
