Today we had lots of storytime fun with our favorite mischievous and sly Pigeon.
Our first book this morning was:
Don’t Let the Pigeon Stay up Late!
Don’t worry, the children did NOT give in to the Pigeon-he made it to bed in time 😉
After a few rhymes and finger-plays we went on to read:
Here are some bird-themed rhymes and finger-plays to complement this storytime:
