"Go-go, gorillas! Gotta go, gorillas, go!
Six Hogs on a Scooter by Eileen Spinelli , illustrated by Scott Nash

"Six hogs on a scooter makes an interesting sight."

The Seals on the Bus by Lenny Hort, illustrated by G. Brian Karas
(I referred to this book during the Aldersgate Preschool Storytime but did not read it.)
Songs:
The Wheels on the Bus
The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round,
'round and 'round,
'round and 'round.
The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round,
all through the town.
The duck on the bus goes quack, quack, quack...
The elephant on the bus goes (trumpeting sound)...
The snake on the bus goes sssss-sssss...
The rabbit on the bus says nothing at al...

Sailing to the Sea
(sung by Tom Chapin on his album "Mother Earth")
This is a delightful song to act out! The children helped make the sounds of the wind in the sail ("whoosh!"), the bell on the buoy ("ding-ding!"), the cars on the bridge ("beep-beep!"), the train on the shore ("clickety-clack, clickety-clack!") and the ocean liner ("ooooooo")
Here are the flannel pieces we used to help us remember the order of the song:
At the end of each verse we held on to the sides of our imaginary boat as we went "gently rocking, riding, rolling, sailing to the sea." You can check out this wonderful music CD at the Bellevue Public Library or purchase the download of the song (or the entire CD) online from the artist!
I always enjoy visits from our friends at Aldersgate Preschool. So nice to see so many parents being active participants during Storytime! ~ Mrs. B.

Each Outreach Storytime includes activities that support one or more of the five early literacy practices identified as essential in helping your child develop the skills they need before they can learn to read. The five practices – singing, talking, reading, playing and writing –were developed for Every Child Ready to Read®, an initiative of the Association for Library Services for Children (ALSC) and the Public Library Association (PLA).
