​I always like to bring in all of my favorite songs, action rhymes, and books during the last few weeks of the storytime session.  The kiddos really loved singing and playing “Come Along and Walk with Me.”  They left the laps of their caregivers so that they could wiggle, hop, and creep with me!  It definitely was the highlight of my day.
