Family Storytime: Music!

HCPL - Storytime

This week’s storytime theme is music! Here are some wonderful books we might read in storytime:


Play This Book by Jessica Young and Daniel Wiseman


There Was a Tree by Rachel Isadora


Music Class Today! by David Weinstone, pictures by Vin Vogel


Jazz Baby by Lisa Wheeler, illustrations by R. Gregory Christie

Here are some songs and/or rhymes we might do in storytime:

Rhyme: My Little Horn
Watch me play my little horn
I put my fingers so                                   (place fists end to end)
Then I lift it to my mouth
And blow and blow and blow                 (bring fists to mouth and toot)

Egg Shaker Song: Shake and Stop (by Lynn Kleiner)
We’re gonna shake and shake and stop,
Shake and shake and shake and stop,
Shake and shake and shake and stop,
Now we’ll shake some more!

Egg Shaker Song: Shake your shakers (tune: London Bridge)
Shake your shakers, shake, shake, shake
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake shake
Shake your shakers, shake, shake, shake
Shake your shakers

Verses: high and low… fast and slow… left and right…

See you there!
