I presented two storytimes to a visiting preschool last month, and am only now posting about it because things have been so busy while getting ready for the Summer Reading Club! Both classes walked to the library on a cool April day; the first class had 55 kids and the second had 17. The following is a combined list of what we did in each storytime session, the theme of which was friends in spring!
