How it went!

This was one of the first storytimes that I participated in. I was quite nervous as it was also the first time I read a book. I did not show the book as much as I should have and found myself stumbling over the pages.

However, I found that the kids liked the songs and rhymes as they were familiar tunes with lots of movements to go along with them.
