Storytime Theme: Giraffes
While I just realized that I created this same storytime a few years ago, I found a couple more cute books to include, so check back to the other lesson plan for even more great ideas! My niece loves giraffes and I was excited to find so many sweet and silly books about her favorite animal. Pair these books together for a spotlight on giraffes or use them in an opposites theme on tall and small. Whatever works best for you!
