For a virtual storytime this week, I read some pretty silly books and showed a silly flannelboard. Of course, this was a silly storytime theme!
For my first laugh-at-loud book, I chose Chicken Big by Keith Graves. What makes this book so silly is how all the other animals in the story can't be convinced Chicken is really a chicken. This is a good one to read out loud with funny pictures.
To take a short break in between stories, I told a rhyming story of Mr. Lou and his growing mustache. I find this gets the kids laughing in storytime at the library, so hopefully they were laughing at home when watching. Mr. Lou's mustache goes from tiny small to hilariously big.
The second and final story I read was Because I Stubbed My Toe by Shawn Byous. This was a short enough story that is about a boy who stubbed his toe and causes a silly chain reaction in his town.
For this virtual storytime, I didn't show any craft because our first book is on the longer side and I was already around the 15 minute mark, but there will definitely be more craft demonstrations in the future.
Silly storytimes are the best!
