Interactive Story Time!

My new preschoolers have been full of the wiggles lately! So, I decided it was time to have an interactive story time. There's no particular theme to this story time, it's just composed of interactive stories.
The first book that I read was Follow Me! by Ellie Sandall. This book tells the story of a group of lemurs as they chase, hunt, race, and climb their way through the jungle. The children and I counted the lemurs together at the beginning of the story. I asked the children what one lemur was chasing. The lemur was chasing the butterfly. Another lemur was hunting a snail. One of the lemurs was racing a turtle and of course, winning! The highlight of the story is when the lemurs are leaping over stones and almost become a meal for the crocodile! Fortunately, they get away by swinging on vines high above the crocodile's head.

Find a Cow Now! by Janet Stevens is the charming story of a city dog who is tired of napping and chases his tail, grabs onto the rug, and attempts to round up the chairs. Bird tells him that he is a cattle dog and needs to go to the country to find a cow. He's supposed to be herding cows. Dog goes off to the country. When he gets there, he meets a chicken, a pig, and a donkey. He mistakes all of these animals for a cow! The children and I had fun making the chicken, pig, and donkey noises. And of course, we got to give great big MOOs! The dog and the cow go through the city and cause a huge commotion. They go back to the country together and Dog goes back to his home in the city. He is happy that he found his new friend, a cow.

Where Are You? by Sarah Williamson tells the story of a green snake following a pink snake and trying to find the pink snake. The pink snake hides in various places: on a boat, under a lily pad, in a truck, in an airplane, around a bicycle wheel, and on a light post by the tree. The green snake finally catches up with the pink snake on the light post. The children had a lot of fun pointing out the pink snake and showing me where the pink snake was!
