There’s a Giraffe in my Soup by Ross Burach
I may still be behind on getting my backlog of drafts up, but I'm going to start the year right with getting my first storytime of 2018 posted in a timely manner! January is National Soup Month so I thought that was a perfect theme to start off the year. With its rhyme for each month, Chicken Soup with Rice was a great book for both starting the year and to fit with the soup theme. My group loved the silliness of There's a Giraffe in My Soup. There were many giggles to be had at the ridiculous situations. I found a few soup related rhymes and activities which I have listed below, but I ended up only using the "Rainbow Stew" flannelboard. I didn't find either of the other songs and rhymes particularly compelling and decided to just use some of my standard shaker egg songs and ukulele song activity instead. Maybe they will inspire you more than they did me though!

Stir the soup in the pot
