What makes your family special? Our families are all unique and a wonderful topic to explore with your children. Come to the Library to discover lots of books about different families and talk about yours. Then work together to create a book or a picture about all the important people in your children's lives!

I'm a Little Teapot

I'm a little tea pot, short and stout.

Here is my handle, here is my spout. (place one hand on your hip and the other sticking out from your body like a spout)

When I get all steamed up, hear me shout.

Tip me over and pour me out! (lean to the side to pour the tea)
