Storytime Recap: Mother's Day

Tomorrow is Mother's Day, so we had to have a storytime all about how great moms are. There are lots of stories about all kinds of mothers, but today we read about animal moms, new moms, and monster moms. We learned some songs to sing to our mothers to show them how much we love them. We finished up storytime by watching a movie based on the book Is Your Mama a Llama? by Deborah Guarino. Check out the list below of books, songs and rhymes. Don't forget to come by the library on Sunday to make a special bouquet of paper flowers for the moms in your life.

 Five Little Ducks by Raffi

I'm Bringing Home a Baby Bumblebee

(Cup hands together as if holding bee)

I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee,

Won't my mommy be so proud of me,

I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee,

Bzz, bzz, bzz..

Ouch! It stung me!

(Shake hands as if just stung)
