Five Little Books

Five little books, sitting on a shelf.
Look inside, and see a little elf.
Four little books, all in a row.
Look inside, see it start to snow.
Three little books, sitting on the shelf.
Can you take one and read it for yourself?
Two little books left on the pile.
Find one now and read it with a smile!
One little book, all that is there.
Found itself a reader who was happy to share!

Manners in the Library

Try This

Help your child make and decorate a bookmark. Discuss why it is important to use a bookmark, especially with library books. Demonstrate how to save their place in a book, so they can come back to the place they were at to finish it later.
