Storytime Theme: Worms
This is a fun, squiggly little storytime theme all about worms! As is typical, I’ve included a few nonfiction titles among the list as well as your typical stories. And while I’ve done countless storytimes about springtime and rain, I’ve never done one focused on worms before! You can focus on both of the previous themes or you can incorporate these stories into a garden theme – whatever works best for you!
