This book is so cute! I was surprised when I opened it and started to read and realized that it was actually made to be sung. It is to the tune of “The Wheels on the Bus”, but the words are all about the library! It goes through different things from the doors going open and shut, to books being checked in and out, to people going Shhh. It was such a fun read/sing! I definitely recommend checking this one out!

Now the things that came to mind to do along with the book…..

-Well obviously, visit the Library and check out the book.

-Talk about different things in the book:
* Checking books in and out.
* Using the computer to look up books.
* Whispering in the library.

– Let your little one do things shown in the book:
* Let them go play on the computer.
* Take them to story time.

– Find out about different events at your library and take your little one. Ours has movies, story time, Lego play time, and all during the summer they have different events. So far we have done a craft, and gotten to see, touch, and learn about different reptiles.

– Give the librarian/staff a thank you note for always being so kind, helpful, and their hard work. If you want attach that note to some freshly made cookies. Everyone liked cookies!

– And what I hope to do: learn the song and sing it (whisper it) during your library trip 😉

Well, those are my ideas, but I am sure you can come up with some more, and there is always Pinterest.

Don’t forget to do something to make someone smile today….. Like taking a child to the library and/or thanking the library staff with a note or baked good!!

Until next time,
Jennifer
