Libraries Rock! Making Music

Oh, this was such a fun [and noisy] storytime!!

Books

Punk Farm

by Jarrett J. Krosoczka 

My Family Plays Music

by Judy Cox; illustrated by Elbrite Brown

I passed out all the instruments that the girl plays in the book and when we got to that part of the book the child played that instrument.  I had extras of some of the instruments so each child would have something to play!

I skipped lines 3 & 4 of each stanza on a page to make the book shorter.  For example:

This is my mom.

She plays fiddle in a country-and western band.

When I play with her, I play the tambourine.
