Storytime Theme: Umbrella

I’m working my way through some of my older posts and while I posted about umbrellas way back in 2016, I thought it might be a good idea to update the storytime lesson plan. Let it be known that the books I chose back then are still really great choices! But, I always like giving you more choices, so here’s a fun list of nine more read aloud picture books, plus some songs and crafts about a rainy day!
