I’m doing a “Books and Reading” storytime theme tomorrow, and while it’s lots of fun choosing books, sometimes I get a little lost trying to think of action rhymes and activities. I saw several versions of a “Five Little Books” rhyme though that inspired me to create a matching game. <\/p>\n

\"0-545-08598-5\"<\/a>\"0-439-92961-X\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This game will extend from The Wonderful Book by Leonid Gore and Maybe a Bear Ate It by Robie Harris. Both these stories feature animals and books, so we are going to look at some books and see if we can decide who would like to read them. <\/p>\n

\"Five<\/a><\/p>\n

I have five books of different sizes and colors, and I made a small felt image to go on the cover of each one. You can see the carrot is a little off-center–that’s because I didn’t glue down the images! This way if I want to connect this activity to a different story, I can choose different “covers” for the books to match the characters in the new story. <\/p>\n

I’ll put up the five books without their images, then talk about how the covers of books sometimes give us hints as to what the story is about. I’ll put the images on the covers then and we’ll name each picture. Then I have five puppets to show: a bunny, a bear, a dog, an owl, and a mouse. As I get out each puppet, we’ll decide which book that animal might be most interested in reading. Will the bunny want to read a book about a carrot? Will the bear want the cherry book or the tree book? <\/p>\n

I’ve got the round up today! Thanks for reading! <\/p>\n
