Top Ten Tuesday: Atmospheric YA Reads
When I saw today’s theme, I started laughing because I had literally just created a list of 9 Atomspheric Middle Grade Titles last week. For today’s list, I decided to focus on YA titles. And while, I’m a scaredy cat when it comes to creepy books, I wanted to pull…

Top Ten Tuesday: Books with Lightning on the Cover
Today’s theme was to choose weather-related covers or titles. I wanted to do something fun and interesting, so I chose to find kids’ books with lightning on the cover. This was such a fun list to pull together with titles spanning age groups and genres. I have fun pulling together…

Storytime Theme: Rain (2023 update)

Storytime Theme: Weather
I love a storytime theme that can be used during any time of year, anywhere around the world. Weather is always happening every where around us. You’ll find dozens of books about rain and lots of books about snow, but finding books about sunshine and/or wind are not as easy…

Storytime Theme: Moose
When I decided to create a storytime theme around moose, I totally forgot that I had recently created a moose book list just a few months ago! So, this list includes even more moose books for my storytime theme: moose! Make sure to check both lists for lots of great…

Storytime Theme: Snow
It never fails that when I do a snow-themed storytime that it’s either raining or one of the warmest days in winter. This year? It’s both! It started off rainy this morning and will be almost 70 degrees by this afternoon – in December. But as they say in the…

It’s been a little crazy weather-wise in my neck of the woods in the past few weeks. Although we live over two hours from the ocean, we’re getting a lot of rain and tornado watches and warnings. In the past two weeks, we’ve spent a good amount of time in…
