Dog Tails

I have two very crazy dogs of my own, so I love sharing dog stories. For this storytime I read:

Some Dog! by Mary Casanova

Move Over, Rover! by Karen Beaumont

If You Give a Dog a Donut by Laura Numeroff

Harry the Dirty Dog by Gene Zion

We sang BINGO using flannel board pieces and  "If You're Happy and You Know it Give a Bark." It goes like this:

If you're happy and you know it give a bark,

If you're happy and you know it give a bark, 

If you're happy and you know it,

a dog just has to show it.

If you're happy and you know it give a bark.

Repeat with: turn around; wag your tail; do all three.  

We finished with a tiny dog book craft found here. I pre-cut and folded the books for the young kids, but left some whole for the older ones.

And in case you were wondering, here are what my crazy animals look like. Sasha is a 4 year old Boxer and Mr. Darcy is a 9 month old English Springer Spaniel.
