Top Ten Tuesday: The Big, Bad Wolf
Today’s Top Ten Tuesday theme is all about villains. While I could have gone for epic villains in children’s literature like The Trunchbull in Matilda or Severine from The Jumbies. I decided to go in a little bit of a different direction and share the fractured fairy tales of the…

Storytime Theme: Quiet
Well, last week I promised there would be an opposite storytime to the Loud theme that I posted and I didn’t want to forget, so here we go – Storytime Theme: Quiet is here! It was surprisingly much harder to find “quiet” picture books. There are dozens of books about…

Storytime Theme: Loud
I’ll be the first to admit that this storytime theme isn’t for everyone. But, I’ll argue that giving the kids a chance to be loud is also a great opportunity for them. If you have the space to do this program outside, that would work really well, so as to…

Top Ten Tuesday: How I Spend My Time When I’m Not Blogging
While I spend a good deal of time on my blog, it’s only a small part of who I am. So for today’s “Non-bookish freebie” I decided to share a little bit about who I am outside of this blog! How else do you spend your time? How I Spend…

Storytime Theme: Christmas
We’re moving through these holidays! Next up, Christmas! I really tried to share some newer titles for this book list. There are so many Christmas books out there and while I’ll always have my tried and true favorites, I wanted to share some new titles with you that you might…

Nonfiction Poetry for Kids
Nonfiction and poetry probably aren’t the two words that you would put together for a book list, but you might be surprised by the number of nonfiction poetry collections that exist! And honestly, it’s a really fun way to share facts in a format that is both surprising and accessible…
