Virtual Storytime: The Perfect Siesta

 

 










 

The Perfect Siesta
by Pato Mena
 

Opening Song:  Dance Your Fingers

Dance your fingers up, dance your fingers down

Dance your fingers to the side and dance them round and round

Dance them on your shoulders, dance them on your head

Dance them on your belly and now put them to bed!


Song:  Down in the Jungle

Down in the jungle with the beat of your feet,

Think of an animal you'd like to meet.

A tiger, a tiger, I want to meet a tiger!

ROAR!


Down in the jungle with the beat of your feet,

Think of an animal you'd like to meet.

A snake, a snake, I want to meet a snake!

HISS!


Down in the jungle with the beat of your feet,

Think of an animal you'd like to meet.

An alligator, alligator, I want to meet an alligator!

CHOMP!

 

Down in the jungle with the beat of your feet,

Think of an animal you'd like to meet.

A parrot, a parrot, I want to meet a parrot!

CAW!  CAW!

 

What other animals can you add to the song?


 Book: The Perfect Siesta, written and illustrated by Pato Mena, translated by Kim Griffin, published by NubeOcho books.

Rhyme:  Baby's Nap

This little baby is ready for a nap.

Lay him down in his mama's lap.

Cover him up so he won't peep,

And rock him 'til he's fast asleep.


Closing Song:  May There Always Be Sunshine

May there always be sunshine

May there always be blue skies

May there always be children

May there always by you

 

May there always be stories

May there always be music

May there always be laughter

May there always be you

 

May there always be kindness

May there always be love

May you always feel special

Because you are you


 
Sending you smiles from afar!
Miss Tiffany
