Storytime Theme: Pets

For the month of November, I’m going to be sharing storytime themes about the things I’m grateful for! This week is all about pets! My crazy pup Aria is filled with energy, which makes me so exasperated, but at the end of the day, I look forward to her snuggles!

Whether you have a dog or cat, maybe a fish or reptile, real or imagined, pets bring camaraderie and love to a house. Today’s storytime theme: pets shares all sorts of pets – even a pet rock. So take a seat next to your pet and share these great books! If you’re looking for my other grateful-themed storytimes, check out family and laughter!
