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

What If… written by Samantha Berger, illustrated by Mike Curato

Under the Lilacs by E. B. Goodale

Pretty Kitty by Karen Beaumont, illustrated by Stephanie Laberis

Creepy Crayon! by Aaron Reynolds, pictures by Peter Brown

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

Song: Purple (tune: Are You Sleeping?)
[Have them repeat after you to create an echo]
P-U-R
P-L-E
That spells purple
P-U-R
P-L-E

Song: Purple People (tune: If You’re Happy and You Know It)
Purple People like to sing, they’ll do it now
Purple people like to dance, and they know how.
Purple people spin around,
Purple people touch the ground,
Purple people know it’s time to take a bow.

Song: I Like Purple (tune: Oh, Susanna)
I like purple grapes, and purple plums,
And cabbage, too.
But I’m sure glad when I eat these
I don’t turn purple, too!

I like purple jelly, purple jam,
And yogurt, too.
But I’m sure glad when I eat these
I don’t turn purple, too!

Oh, that might be a funny thing to do,
But I’m sure glad when I eat these
I don’t turn purple, too!

See you there!
