For an explanation of how summer storytimes work at my library, see here.
We are using the Dream Big–Read theme this summer, so this storytime would seem to be a given.
Books:
How To Catch a Star by Oliver Jeffers
Ten Flashing Fireflies by Philemon Sturges
Kitten’s First Full Moon by Kevin Henkes
Wow! Said the Owl by Tim Hopgood
Songs and Rhymes:
Little Stars
Little stars
Way up in the sky, (hold hands up and wiggle fingers)
Little stars
Up so very high. (stretch hands up higher and wiggle fingers)
They twinkle brightly
Through the night, (keep wiggling fingers)
But during the day
They are out of sight! (pull hands down quickly and hide them behind your back)
Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star from Six Little Ducks
Rocketship Run by Laurie Berkner from Rocketship Run
Craft:
We decorated star shapes with crayons and stickers, and used lengths of yarn to make them into necklaces.
