I am so excited to be involved in a reading challenge this year. I honestly did not know there were as many people out there who are as obsessed with reading as I am. But I am honored to have found them. I accept this challenge and will post my choices as soon as I find some. I'm thinking Chabon's Kavalier and Clay, only because it has been on my TBR shelf for two years. Buying a book has always been the kiss of death for me. How can I possibly read what I just bought when I have new library books coming in all of the time and they all have to be read in a certain time frame? As a result, I actually own more books I have not read yet than ones I have. So, onto the Chunkster Challenge, which just happens to have the best name...
Tonight's storytime followed the same format I use for all of my day storytimes as I have temporarily suspended my idea of doing storytime in reverse in order to get the kids sleepy. They only seem to run out into the library to pick out movies and books and the effect is lost. So here is what we did tonight. Our theme was teddy bears, but our night storytime is always wear jammies, bring a lovey, and low action. My opening song is Hello Bubbles which I learned from Read Sing Play here . BTW this woman is a storytime goddess and I have picked up many great ideas on her blog. Story the 1st: The Red Hat by Lita Judge Why? Because I want to get across to my kids that books do not always have to have words in order for us to "read" them, and I want to give pre-readers a chance to feel proud they finished a book on their own. I plan to try to read or highlight at least one wordless read for the next couple of storytimes. Flannel Board: Ten in the Bed I used a mod
