Over in the Ocean: In a Coral Reef by Marianne Berkes

4.0

This is an ocean adaptation of the song "Over in the meadow" which comes with a music CD and suggested fingerplay actions in the back. The last page even includes a bit of an interactive "I Spy".

Ninja, Ninja, Never Stop! by Todd Tuell

Reminds me of "[b:Hello Ninja|18604519|Hello Ninja|N.D. Wilson|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1380605740s/18604519.jpg|26376013]" by [a:N.D. Wilson|505695|N.D. Wilson|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1232048259p2/505695.jpg] but longer and the illustrations aren't quite as cute. Though the illustrations here are larger and would be a bit easier to use for a storytime. This might be one I could incorporate into a movement storytime and try to have the kids act out what is happening. I'll have to keep it in mind for future storytimes.
