Bedtime Stories

This was my second month doing our Bedtime Stories, a.k.a.

Our second book No Nap! Yes Nap! was a hoot with one little boy repeating the refrain "No Nap, No Nap" over and over.  We did a few rounds of  Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star and used flannel stars as we chanted Four Little Stars. 

Our library has a subscription to TumbleBooks and we viewed
