Reviews

[Andrew · Rating 3 out of 5]

Reid does a great job of giving "contemporary" and classic children's early literacy librarians the resources and themes to do fun engaging programs. Using the style of including poems, picture books, fingerplays, felt boards, puppets, songs, and though not in this book, but in others, taking readings from chapter books.
He gives enough themes and ideas for each theme (15 in this book). I find it cool that in this and other books by Rob Reid the reader will find EVEN more ideas for other story time sessions within the very themes. (The theme could Pets (and you will find at least 5 other program themes within that one, just from the resources Rob offers).
