The storytime kids love stories about trucks, trains, and cars. We sang along to a familiar melody as I read the exciting pop-up variation of "Wheels on the Bus" by Margaret McNamara called Whistle on the Train. We all made various vehicle sounds as each one was colorfully depicted in Can You Choo Choo? by David Wojtowycz. A drawbridge is up causing the animals in their colorful vehicles to wait patiently to cross the bridge in the charming The Bridge is Up by Babs Bell. We guessed the colors of the bunnies and counted them in the flannel story, "Five Bunnies".
