Maria Had a Little Llama
Happy Thursday Lion Cubs! Welcome back for another edition of Long Distance Library! Today we have a llama theme to our activities. There's a nursery rhyme connection today, too. Click here to watch our video and we'll get started. |
I know we've all heard the nursery rhyme Mary Had a Little Lamb, right? Well, today's story is very similar to that. However, in this story, Mary doesn't have a lamb. Mary has a llama! Another difference is that this story is told in both English and in Spanish. Click here to visit the Kidlit TV website to hear the author, Angela Dominguez, read aloud her book Maria Had a Little Llama. |
Let's take our Mary Had a Little Lamb theme a little further. What if, instead of a lamb, Mary instead had a little glam? In the book Mary Had a Little Glam, Mary helps some other nursery rhyme characters improve their fashion sense and go a little glam. Click here to see the book's illustrator, Vanessa Brantley Newton, read aloud the story of Mary Had a Little Glam on the Kitlit TV website. |
We can't have llama day on Long Distance Library without Llama Llama! Llama Llama is one of our student favorites at Southwest. And how better to enjoy them than to hear Ryan and Craig, from Storytime with Ryan and Craig, read them to us? You can click the links below to go straight to each of the Llama Llama stories or you can click here to go to Ryan and Craig's read aloud website where you will find lots of other fun stories to enjoy. |
I have one last recommendation for us today. Since our first story today was told in both English and Spanish, I have a link here for some other Spanish stories. Click here to visit The Spanish Experiment's website. Here you can find a few Spanish children's stories. If, like me, you don't speak Spanish, there are subtitles in English at the bottom of the video so you can read along. I hope you enjoy! |
