Did you miss storytime? Perhaps it is just one of those days when you need a little boost with your little ones. Fret not. We have gathered some storytime resources for you at home, thanks to our librarians. Follow our steps below or mix and match for the ultimate storytime experience.
Today's Theme: Quirky Companions
1. Energize with a Song
Sing “We Wave Hello Together” (to the tune of “For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow”)
We wave hello together
We wave hello together
We wave hello together
We’re here at storytime!
Repeat with “we clap our hands together” for the second verse and “we stamp our feet together” for the third verse.
2. Read a Book About Quirky Companions
From pet rocks to loyal squash, these stories celebrate the joy of finding friendship in the most unexpected places. Whether it’s a cloud, a box or something entirely imaginary, each companion shows that love and loyalty come in all shapes and sizes. These books remind readers that the best friendships aren’t always typical—but they’re always special.
