Storytime: L is for Lambs
Who knew that lambs love to laugh or that there are sheep in space with colorful coats? Plus, did you know that lambs can walk within minutes of being born, have teeth only on their lower jaw, and possess four stomachs? If you and your child want to learn more about lambs and sheep, check out these books and activities!

Tip
The concept of loud and soft plays an important role in music and throughout life. Children need to know when a loud voice is OK and when a soft voice is required. Through music, they can have fun learning the difference between loud and soft. – “Reading Picture Books With Children” by Lambert
Activity
When you sing, “Two Little Lambs,” with your child, sing the word, “Soft,” softly and the word, “Loud,” loudly.
