Can You Bear It? (Storytime)

 Opening: Big Books

Book: A Good Day for Hat

*Normally I use props with this storytime.  I have all the hats made that bear wears, and I tape bear to a box.  He's quite large..LOL  As bear changes his hat out during the story, I will replace the hat he's wearing.  Below is a picture of how I do the props for this one.

More new books! 


The adorable gorilla can't decide what he wants to be at the zoo.  The kids get to stomp and roar along with him, but he's still a gorilla, but a silly one at that!

A wonderful seek and find book that includes counting.  As you read the book, you lift the flaps on each page to help papa seahorse find his missing baby.  You will discover wonderful ocean animals as you go.  Great for a counting or ocean storytime!

I have fallen in love with this author!  This book is so cute!  Every animal has a flap that you lift to show the yawning mouth open up.  I can't wait to use this in my next bedtime storytime!

This rhyming books does a great job illustrating all the wonderful pets in our world.  The words on each page are very little, but the pictures more than make up for it.  

What a precious book about a little cloud.  This book is very sweet and teaches that even though you may be small, you can turn into something great and wonderful.  In the end, little cloudette spreads rain and joy to not only frogs but children too.  A great book for a rain, cloud, or even frog storytime.

What a wonderful dragon book, and I love how it incorporates storytime into the plot.  A great rhyming book about a beautiful dragon and it rhymes also.  I've never done a dragon storytime but after reading this book I want to now!

This book is a really good movement book and it is accompanied by a wonderful CD that goes along with the book.  

 

Great lift-the-flap book for a sick storytime.  On each page, baby gets a boo-boo.  Someone different will come along to kiss and make it better!

 

Another great hit by one of my favorite authors!  As you turn the page each cut-out reveals an animal.  The cover of the book?  It turns into a monkey!  This would be wonderful for any age, and I will definitely be using it for a shape or animal storytime very soon!

This book reminds me of "Dog's Colorful Day" and I love it!  I plan on making a flannel and placing colored dots on the cat as the story progresses.  

Don't you just love the adorable monster on the front of this book?  From the creators of the book "I Will Chomp You" comes another great book!  You won't be disappointed by this one.  The monster inside this book tries to convince you that he's not a monster and then lists all the reasons why.  Another great one by a wonderful pair, Jory John and Bob Shea.
