Preschool Storytime Visit: Fish and Oceans!

At the end of last week, I presented a storytime to a group of about 40 children ages 3-5 who walked over from their daycamp.  We read about fish and oceans!

Preschool Storytime: Fish & Oceans

I helped to plan this storytime, but it turns out that I won't actually be presenting it (a coworker is).  That's okay...I'm sure everyone will have a good time reading about fish & oceans!  This storytime is for a preschool-aged summer daycare group that will be visiting the library.
