Read them aloud and talk about them. Our expert librarians highlight a picture book each week with tips for sharing. Browse their recommendations, or search by keyword for books on a specific topic.

Twinkling Stars
At night I see the twinkling stars
(hold up hands and wiggle fingers)
And a great big smiling moon.
(circle arms overhead)
My Mommy tucks me into bed,
(Lay pointer of one hand across the palm of the other
hand)
And sings a good night tune.
(rock hands gently).

Four Little Stars
Four little stars winking at me.
(Hold up and wiggle four fingers)
One shot off,
(Zip one finger away)
Then there were three.
(Hold up and wiggle three fingers)
(repeat actions as indicated)
Three little stars with nothing to do,
One shot off,
Then there were two.
Two little stars afraid of the sun.
One shot off,
Then there was one!
One little star alone is no fun,
It shot off, then there was none.
(Make a zero with fingers.)
