I officially declare this year to be Year of the Vampire. Having evolved from last year ("Year of the Pie" see: Sweeney Todd, Pushing Daisies, Waitress, etc) from sweetness into darkness, we can only shudder and enjoy it. And enjoy the year of the bloodsucker as I am with the watching of True Blood on HBO, the reading of the Stephanie Meyer books, the Charlaine Harris books, and listening to Vampire Weekend on the, ur...weekend. I also just finished Thirsty which was quite delicious. With a brief side step, I devoured Zombie Blondes (I do think Brian James might be Kurt Cobain's lost twin) but in fairness the zombies acted more like vampires that could walk around in the daylight. More on this as the year progresses...until then, eat garlic.
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
