Tuesday Storytime: "Love My Library" Month, Week 2 (cancelled due to snow)

We didn't get to have our Tuesday Storytime this week due to Snowmageddon, but I wanted to post up the books anyway, as a resource:

These are MUCH LONGER than what I normally read to this age-group, and so there was going to be a lot more singing and breaks, and I was going to break each story in half or thirds to give a bit of time for kids to get their wiggles out.  I'm actually a bit relieved that this week was the one that got snowed in - even with my plans to break them up, I wasn't sure how the longer books would work out, to be honest.  Still, they're great books for older storytime audiences.
