Storytime Theme: Nocturnal Animals
Today I’m sharing a new storytime theme all about nocturnal animals! You know how much I love sharing a storytime theme that can so easily incorporate a little nonfiction. This would be a perfect storytime for bedtime or in the evening after marveling at fireflies around a campfire. Whether these titles are based on science or just fun read alouds, you’re sure to find something you enjoy! Plus, check out my storytime theme – Daytime, Nighttime for even more great titles.
