Today in the library, preschool explored things that GO! We began by sharing two books by Philomen Sturges: I Love Trains and I Love Trucks. With charming and expressive illustrations by author and artist Shari Halpern, these books have a simple storyline and easy text. Next we selected Machines that Work by Byron Barton which is a simple narration of a construction site workday. Lastly, we read Down By the Station by Will Hillenbrand. This picture book builds upon the popular children’s song, Down By the Station, but provides an element of humor through the addition of flamingos, elephants, pandas and seals. The students enjoyed singing the chorus of this song as we moved through the text.
We concluded with book browsing and checkout. Happy Reading!
