Five little ducks, five little monkeys, five little elephants! We’re all familiar with those songs and rhymes that feature the number five. Today we read some great books about five littles.
Our first book was:
Five Green and Speckled Frogs
Adapted and Illustrated by Priscilla Burris
Our next book was:
Five Little Monkeys Go Shopping
Words and Pictures by Eileen Christelow
For our craft we painted with our five little fingers!

This summer dinrug our outdoor Family Storytime, I used props a couple of times. For Judy Sierra’s The Sleepy Little Alphabet I passed out magnetic alphabet letters(the frig kind) to each child ahead of the book. They were asked to listen for their letter and bring it forward to place on the magnetic board while I read the story. I also used the Ellison machine to make flannel pieces all using different colors, asking them to watch for their color while I read another book-which I can’t recall right now. Sometimes it gets the not quite so interesting books but great books a boost in your story times.
