Instructions
1. Plan ahead for rainy days and "hard" days when you are low on energy or
when children can't seem to focus.
2. When you have a few extra moments, select a song storybook to read to the
children. This always seems to generate interesting conversation.
3. Following are several selections that you might enjoy. You may want to buy or
make your own recording of the song on a cassette to accompany the book.
