Favorite Verbs in Picture Books: Call for Help!

by | 3 Comments

When you are reading a book out loud, one which requires movement, what are your favorite verbs? Ones that really flow from your tongue and make it easy for the kids to act.

Imagine you’re a popcorn kernel. What kinds of action could humans do to mimic a popcorn kernel popping?

Would love your ideas!! Shamelessly begging for your ideas, actually. Will provide chocolate to idea givers. Or…popcorn?

Librarian by day, baker by night (and on weekends). This blog is focused on my endeavors as a children's librarian, but still includes my baking experiments and other tidbits about life outside the library. This blog helps me keep track of what works and doesn't in storytime, the library, and in life. And maybe it will be helpful to others as well!
