Storytime Theme: Things That Go!

Transportation books are some of the most popular storytimes! Little ones (especially boys) love anything with wheels! My nephew is one such kid, his specialty is construction vehicles and tractors. Today’s storytime theme: things that go include books about trains, cars, taxis, and a host of other transportation vehicles in Down by the Station.

Storytime Theme: Things That Go! (Transportation Books)

Welome Song: Bread & Butter
Bread and butter
Marmalade and Jam
Let’s say hello as quiet as we can (whisper: hello)
…loud as we can

…slow as we can
…fast as we can
…high as we can
…low as we can
…nice as we can (big smile!)

Book: I’m Fast! by Kate and Jim McMullan

Transition: Because we’re not including music (copyright concerns), I just had the kid do some quick stretches at home.

Book: Maxi the Little Taxi by Elizabeth Upton

Transition: A few more stretches here!

Book: Down by the Station by Jennifer Riggs Vetter

If you love these books and are interested in more great picture books, I’ve done other transportation themes preschool programs like Music & Movement, School Buses, and Sensory Friendly Storytime.
