Meet stubborn as a mule Skye: a precocious, hilarious, delightful yet exasperating four-year-old drama queen who lives in south Louisiana. When Skye was given a shiny new pair of red rubber boots, she fell in love with them. Skye insisted on wearing the boots day and night, for practically a whole year. Although Skyes mother wearily attempted to persuade her to wear shoes other than the boots, Skye absolutely refused. Skye knew she was driving her sweet mother to her wits end, yet her boots made her feel so securely grounded that she stubbornly continued to wear them. Then one day something really scary happens, and everything changes in an instant!

Librarians and educators can shake up storytimes, help children stay healthy, and encourage a lifelong love of reading with Dietzel-Glair’s easy-to-use resource. Demonstrating exactly how to use children’s books to engage preschool-age children through movement, it’s loaded with storytimes that will have children standing up tall, balancing as they pretend to walk across a bridge, or even flying around the room like an airplane. Presenting hundreds of ideas, this all-in-one book is divided into six sections: “Art” spotlights titles that are natural hooks for art or craft activities alongside ideas on how to create art just like the character in the story, while an appendix includes art patterns that can be used as coloring sheets; “Games” includes searching games, follow-the-leader games, and guessing games to enhance the books in this section; “Movement” features books that kids can jump, stomp, clap, chomp, waddle, parade, wiggle, and stretch with; “Music” chooses books perfect for activities like shaking a maraca, singing, dancing between the pages, and creating new sound effects; “Playacting” lets kids pretend along with the characters in these books, whether it’s washing their face, swimming with fish, or hunting a lion; “Props” encourages storytime leaders to bring out their puppets, flannelboard pieces, and scarves—these books have enough props for everyone in the program to have a part. Each chapter includes as much instruction as possible for a wide range of motions. Pick and choose the amount of movement that is right for your storytime crowd, or do it all!
