Storytime Theme: Turtles
I’m always surprised when I come across another storytime theme that I’ve never done before! And this one is most surprising as we have a pet turtle in our library. And he’s the most popular part of the library, by far. So, in honor of Tera, our turtle, here is…

2024 Blogging A to Z Challenge: Girl Characters
This might look a little similar to a post from last week, just with female characters, rather than male. If you didn’t get a chance to see last week’s post, make sure you stop by for 12 additional adventure titles that you might enjoy. But, I’ll reiterate what I said…

2024 Blogging A to Z Challenge: Fantasy
While dragons got their very own post, you can’t very well believe that I wouldn’t share a whole list of fantasy titles as well. And yes, there are more dragons, but they don’t all have dragons, I promise. While fantasy titles aren’t my go-to books, I still tend to enjoy…

2024 Blogging A to Z Challenge: Chapter Books
Letter “C” is for chapter books! This is probably one of the most misunderstood terms in children’s literature, so let me explain. While most people use this term for any book with chapters in it that is geared toward kids, it’s actually a specific term. Unfortunately, it’s often misused online…

2024 Blogging A to Z Challenge: Boy Characters
It’s day two and time for the letter “B”! And while my title is a little clunky, it’s written that way on purpose. I don’t adhere to the idea that there are “boy” books and “girl” books. Rather, there are books that interest readers. And yes, I know that some…

Storytime Theme: Bears & Berries
Today’s storytime theme combined two things that go together, but I never thought about finding books about them – bears and berries! The first book my mind automatically went to was Blueberries for Sal, but there are a surprising number of books about bears eating fruit, especially berries. This perfect…
