Storytime Theme: Small, But Mighty
I decided to focus on bugs for this small, but mighty storytime theme! There are so many little kids afraid of bugs and I’d love to share all the great ways that bugs help the environment and how they are more scared of humans, than we should be of them (for the most part!). I’m sharing some great nonfiction books as well as some really fun stories too! Kids are going to find something creepy and crawly to love in this small, but mighty storytime!
