This week’s theme for storytimes at the Handley Regional Library will be the moon and bedtime! Come enjoy some great stories and songs at any of our three library branches.
This Is the Way We Yawn & Stretch [tune:”Mulberry Bush” ]
This is the way we yawn and stretch,
Yawn and stretch, yawn and stretch.
This is the way we yawn and stretch,
On our way to bed.
This is the way we take a bath…
This is the way we read a book…
This is the way we hug and kiss…
This is the way we close our eyes…
Here is a Baby
Here is a baby (show index finger)
Ready for a nap
Lay her down on her mother’s lap (put finger on the other hand’s palm)
Cover her up so she won’t make a peep (bring fingers of that palm around the finger that is the “baby”)
And rock her til she’s fast asleep (keeping finger tucked into other hand, sway gently)
Five in the Bed
There were five in the bed and the little one said, “Roll over, roll over.”
So they all rolled over and one fell out, there were four in the bed,
and the little one said, “Roll over, roll over.”
So they all rolled over and one fell out, there were three in the bed,
and the little one said, “Roll over, roll over.”
So they all rolled over and one fell out, there were two in the bed,
and the little one said, “Roll over, roll over.”
So they all rolled over and one fell out, there were one in the bed,
and the little one said, “I got the whole bed to myself, I got the whole big bed to myself,
I got the whole bed to myself, I’ve got the whole bed to myself.”
Twinkling Stars
At night I see the twinkling stars, (wiggle fingers)
And the Great Big Shining Moon (circle arms)
My mama tucks me into bed (fist under chin)
And sings this goodnight tune (sing a lullaby)
I See the Moon
Tune: Hush Little Baby
I see the moon and the moon sees me
Down through the leaves of the old oak tree
Please let the moon that shines on me
Shine on the ones I love.
Over the mountain, over the sea
Back where my heart is longing to be
Please let the moon that shines on me
Shine on the ones I love.
