Sun Storytime
Here’s the last storytime for my outer space theme – the sun! It’s been fun combining fiction and nonfiction books for the past few weeks to create a great list of outer space titles that are perfect for reading aloud to young kids or as options for older children to practice reading.
Plus, you don’t need to be a librarian to host a storytime – you can have informal storytime at home or use these titles as part of a homeschool lesson about outer space, or maybe you have a kid who just loves the night sky and dreams of becoming an astronaut. Whatever the reason, share these great books together! And if you missed any of the other storytimes –Aliens, Rocket Ship, Star, Moon, and Outer Space.check them out as well!
