Gobble Gobble Gobble! Quack Quack Quack! Today’s storytime was all about different kinds of birds including turkeys, chickens and ducks. Next week, the Library will be closed next Thursday for Turkey Day as well as the day after…so no storytime next week. We’ll be back in two weeks with more fun stories, songs and rhymes. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Nursery Rhyme of the Week:
Sing a Song of Sixpence
Sing a song of sixpence,
a pocket full of rye.

baked in a pie.

Wasn’t that a dainty dish
to set before the king?

“Turkey Jurkey” (to the tune of The Hokey Pokey)
You put your wing in
You put your wing out
You put your wing in
And you flap it all about
You do the Turkey Jurkey and you turn yourself around
That’s what it’s all about!
You put your other wing in
You put your other wing out
You put your other wing in
And you flap it all about
You do the Turkey Jurkey and you turn yourself around
That’s what it’s all about!
You put your beak in
You put your beak out
You put your beak in
And you shake it all about
You do the Turkey Jurkey and you turn yourself around
That’s what it’s all about!
You put your tail feathers in
You put your tail feathers out
You put your tail feathers in
And you shake them all about
You do the Turkey Jurkey and you turn yourself around
That’s what it’s all about!
