Commotion in the Ocean

Commotion in the Ocean Storytime

I've been doing Preschool Storytime at the local Preschool Summer Camp through the Town of Windsor.  Every week they have a new theme and I try to pick my books around the theme.  This week's theme was Commotion in the Ocean.

 

The Pout-Pout Fish by Deborah Diesen

One afternoon Cailin from Petaluma told the librarians that her favorite book to share at storytime is "The Pout-Pout Fish" by Diesen.  I immediately checked it out and it was a huge hit with my kids. So, I decided to give it a try for storytime.  The kids LOVED it.  It was by far their favorite.

I'm the Biggest Thing in the Ocean by Kevin Sherry

Another hit and it fit into the them.

We also read Hooray for Fish! by Lucy Cousins.  We talked about all the different types of fish and our favorite one.  

If you do an ocean storytime you must do "The Goldfish Song" by Laurie Berkner.  If you don't know "The Goldfish Song" you need to check it out now!

Noisy Night by Mac Barnett

Noisy Night by Mac Barnett. I used this book in a family storytime last Friday, and it was so great! It really worked for all ages, because it has simple, colorful illustrations, repeating sounds and rhymes, and is also a guessing game! The older kids really loved trying to guess what was making all the noise; there are some difficult answers and some simple answers, so the toddlers could participate too. I'm definitely adding this one into my rotation.
