When the storyteller loses it...

Papa Bear thunders "SOMEONE'S BEEN EATING MY PORRIDGE!"

Sitting right at the storyteller's feet, curly-headed Alaina says loudly " I didn't do it!"

Not just for adults

September marks the beginning of our storytelling season.  We're making plans and looking for spooky stories, getting ready for the flurry of activity around Halloween.
This is also when the public library resumes regular preschool storytimes.

Storytellers use books and props and flannelboards

and puppets to enhance the listening experience 

and introduce young audiences to story appreciation.

Setting the stage

Here's the same storytime space set for three watery themes:

 Under water;

 In the Rain;

and Bath Time.

Preschoolers love guessing the themes while they wait for stories to begin!
