Graphic created using Picmonkey. Clipart from Krista Wallden of Creative Clips.
This week's family storytime basket theme was Pets.  I had a blast planning and facilitating this storytime.  The action rhyme Kitty Cat Pounce and Bark, George were crowd favorites!  

This storytime made me miss the family doggo, Curley the Wonderdog.  I'm looking forward to seeing his sweet little face in a few days.  Here is a photo of Curley so that you can all bask in his complete and total adorable-ness.  If I was an editor for We Rate Dogs, I would give Curley a 20/10.

Puppets: I Went to the Pet Store
Credit: Verona Storytime

I went to the pet store and made a special wish.
The pet that I wanted was a very special (fish)!

I went to the pet store, I went there at a jog,
To get a pet with a wagging tail, it was a little (dog)!

I went to the pet store, it had become a habit.
The pet I wanted now was a soft, fluffy (rabbit)!

I went to the pet store, I’m sure this sounds absurd,
But the pet I wanted was a colorful flying (bird)!

I went to the pet store, it was no mistake.
What I really wanted now was a hissing green (snake)!
Action Rhyme

Gertie the Goldfish goes
smack, smack, smack
She looks at me and goes like
smack, smack, smack,
She doesn’t laugh, doesn’t sing
doesn’t do anything
Just blows big kisses like this
Smack, smack, smack, smack
Puppy Roll

​
Five little puppies all digging a hole (hold up five fingers)
One fell in and started to roll… (roll your hands)
She rolled to the bottom, she didn’t get hurt.
How many puppies are left digging dirt? (count how many puppies are left)

Four little puppies all digging a hole (hold up five fingers)
One fell in and started to roll… (roll your hands)
he rolled to the bottom, he didn’t get hurt.
How many puppies are left digging dirt? (count how many puppies are left)

Three little puppies all digging a hole (hold up five fingers)
One fell in and started to roll… (roll your hands)
She rolled to the bottom, she didn’t get hurt.
How many puppies are left digging dirt? (count how many puppies are left)

Two little puppies all digging a hole (hold up five fingers)
One fell in and started to roll… (roll your hands)
he rolled to the bottom, she didn’t get hurt.
How many puppies are left digging dirt? (count how many puppies are left)

One little puppy all digging a hole (hold up five fingers)
They fell in and started to roll… (roll your hands)
They rolled to the bottom, they didn’t get hurt.
How many puppies are left digging dirt? (count how many puppies are left)
Can You?

Can you hop like a rab­bit?
Can you jump like a frog? Can you wad­dle like a duck?
Can you wag your tail like a dog?
Can you fly like a bird?
Can you swim like a fish?
Can you sit back down and be still like this?
Kitty Cat Pounce!

*This was a crowd favorite today!   We had so much fun we did this action rhyme twice

Kitty cat, kitty cat, sneaks out of the house.
Kitty cat, kitty cat, creeps up to a mouse,
And … POUNCE!
Kitty cat, kitty cat, creeps up to a bird.
Kitty cat, kitty cat, is not even heard
And … POUNCE!
But the mouse ran, and the bird flew away,
So kitty cat found a ball of yarn to play
And … POUNCE!

To the tune of "If You're Happy and You Know It"

If you’re a cat and you know it say meow, meow.
If you’re a cat and you know it say meow, meow.
If you’re a cat and you know it and you really want to show it

If you’re a cat and you know it lick your paws
If you’re a cat and you know it lick your paws
If you’re a cat and you know it and you really want to show it
If you’re a cat and you know it lick your paws

If you’re a cat and you know it purr like this (purr)
If you’re a cat and you know it purr like this (purr)
If you’re a cat and you know it purr like this (purr)
If you’re a cat and you know it and you really want to show it
If you’re a cat and you know it purr like this (purr)

If you’re a cat and you know it pounce like this
If you’re a cat and you know it pounce like this
If you’re a cat and you know it pounce like this
If you’re a cat and you know it and you really want to show it
If you’re a cat and you know it pounce like this
