Storytime Theme: Bugs

Bugs are something that either fascinates little kids or terrifies them! There are plenty of bugs that bite or sting, but most bugs are really important parts of the ecosystem. This storytime can combine stories with nonfiction text to not only entertain, but also educate little ones on all the different types of bugs there are and what they do!
