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

You Don’t Want a Dragon! Written by Ame Dyckman, Illustrated by Liz Climo

Duncan the Story Dragon by Amanda Driscoll

There’s a Dragon in Your Book by Tom Fletcher, Illustrated by Greg Abbott

Good Dream Dragon by Jacky Davis, Illustrated by Courtney Dawson

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

Rhyme: Swing Your Dragon Tail
Turn around once and swing your dragon tail,
Turn around twice, flap your wings, and shake your scales,
Turn around three times, stomp your feet and roar,
Jump up high then sit down on the floor.

Flannel: Five Little Dragons
One little dragon with scales of blue
Ran to meet the green one
And then there were two
Two little dragons sitting under a tree
The red dragon joined them
And then there were three
Three little dragons wishing there were more
Along came the purple dragon
And then there were four
Four little dragons, happy to be alive
Found an orange dragon
And then there were five
Five little dragons all out to play
“Watch out, they breathe fire” is all I have to say

Song: 5 Little Dragons (tune: 5 Little Ducks)
5 little dragons went out one day,
Over the hills and far away,
Mother dragon said, “It’s time for your snack,”
And only four little dragons came back.

Repeat until none, then:
No little dragons went out one day,
Over the hills and far away,
Mother dragon said, “It’s a really good snack!”
And five little dragons came roaring back!

Rhyme: Dragon, Dragon
Dragon, dragon, turn around
Dragon, dragon, touch the ground
Dragon, dragon, fly up high
Dragon, dragon, touch the sky
Dragon, dragon, swing your tail
Dragon, dragon, shake your scales
Dragon, dragon, give a ROAR
Dragon, dragon, sit on the floor

See you there!
