This is a super-simple storytime that works well for preschool storytime or toddler storytime. I had the materials for Rover's doghouse on hand and modified the story to fit the puppets at my branch. I ended the story with a dragon, because we don't own a skunk puppet and it still turned out fine!
Puppets:
dog
cat
beaver
frog
bird
mouse
dragon
Props:
a dog house (though you could easily tell this without a doghouse and stack the animals in your lap)
I used my favorite theater supply--a cardboard tri-fold display to make Rover's doghouse.
Let children help you with the repeating, "move over, rover." I even have my children roll their hands as we say it.
This story basically tells itself, and the children love seeing the animals stack up in Rover's house.
Give it a try!
