I just want to mention that as I was typing this, I realized that this storytime has a lot of similarities in it! It starts and ends with books about bedtime. The song book has a lot of movement involved, and the movement book has a song-like rhythm to it. And of course the rhyme cube landed on Itsy Bitsy Spider on the day that I was planning to do Spider on the Floor as an activity.
