Welcome to The Allentown Public Library's "Time For Twos" storytime! Each week we will update this blog to include the list of titles of books we read, the lyrics of songs we sang, as well as some other fun stuff (mp3s, links to fun activities, etc.) so you can repeat the lessons at home with your little one.
Add us to your RSS feeder or just check this site -- timefortwos.blogspot.com every week. (Some weeks we might not get to the update until Satuday.) Now on to this week's storytime!

Oh, the noble Duke of York
He had 10 thousand men
He marched them up to the top of the hill
Then he marched them down again
And when they were up, they were up
And when they were down, they were down
And when they were only half-way up
They were neither up nor down
