Clothes

Our ninth week of storytime was the week of Halloween so I picked a theme in which we could easily incorporate costumes: Clothes!


Books:

Toddler Books:
Zorro Gets an Outfit - Carter Goodrich
Duck Sock Hop - Jane Kohuth
Baby Shoes - Dashka Slater 

Preschool Books:
Animals Should Definitely Not Wear Clothing - Judi Barrett 
Zorro Gets an Outfit - Carter Goodrich
Duck Sock Hop - Jane Kohuth
Froggy Gets Dressed - Jonathan London

Rhymes/Songs/Fingerplays:

Song: Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons:
*You can download the song to this popular book by Eric Litwin and sing along. One of my amazing Library Assistants had made a flannel of Pete the Cat, but the flannel isn't necessary--if you're feeling really groovy, you can dance as you count along to the tune.

Song: Boots by Laurie Berkner Band:
*This has a very simple chorus, and you can follow along with the actions. We stomped, danced, hopped like a frog, and splashed in our rain boots. It also repeatedly spells the word "Boots" -- "B-O-O-T-S", so it is a great song to work on the Writing component of Every Child Ready to Read.
