Happy New Year

The snow has melted and the new year begins. One of the story times I do is called Busy Hands and Feet, held every other Thursday from 10:30-11 a.m. This is especially fun for starting the year off right as the focus of the session is on music, stories and sign language.


To start off the first session, I will be reading books about music from the Preschool collection.

Punk Farm on Tour by Jarrett Krosoczka is a fabulous romp with those rockin' farm animals as they travel the U.S.A. singing their very special music.







Bats on Parade is a picture book by Kathi Appelt. The bats form a marching band and throughout the text highlights numbers and even mathematics.

The final story for this story time is Olivia Forms a Band by Ian Falconer. The irrepressible Olivia the pig strutting her stuff as one man band. Very funny.

Usually I do a few songs and one of my new favorites is Eric Herman's, Bounce Flap and Twist. This is sure to get those toes a tapping.

Drop in to Busy Hands and Feet with your little ones starting January 15th at the McMinnville Public Library.
