Storytime Theme: Stop & Go
Transportation-themed storytimes are always a big hit! I wanted to go a little beyond the typical transportation books this time around but had a much harder time than I expected finding the right types of books to fit this theme. This theme is kind of a two-in-one situation with books…

Storytime Theme: Whales
To coincide with the Summer Reading theme: Oceans of Possibilities, I thought I’d share a whale storytime theme! Whales are magnificent creatures – so book and so graceful. I’d also take a look at incorporating a YouTube video into this program to share whale songs. Or you can make this…
