Storytime Theme: Crustaceans
To coincide with the Summer Reading theme: Oceans of Possibilities, I thought I’d share a crustacean storytime theme! Crustaceans are more than just lobsters and shrimp, it also includes barnacles, krill, and crawfish. I honestly thought there were WAY more lobster picture books out there, but I was surprised by how few I found. I found a lot of great titles that kids will love to learn more about crustaceans!
