Paraphrasing, but "you shouldn't be a presenter or entertainer, you should be a facilitator! You should have puppets for everyone! You should have handouts and things! :D"
ooof not at my library, not with the enormous size of our storytimes and how, uh, *restrictive* the rules appear to be about handouts right now. They used to do this, but now they very very VERY much do not

More than anything else, I really didn't realize how much literacy content I could wring out of old nursery rhymes and I'm real excited to try Sing a Song of Sixpence again but this time talk about alliteration or something instead of just throwing it at them like a rock that none of them know how to sing because it's not as common as Hey Diddle Diddle.
No one knew the melody to Hey Diddle Diddle either, actually...

They recommend reading more nonfiction books in storytime, because of all kinds of good things it does, builds a great base of knowledge, all that
--but I don't even know how to read premise books out loud and effectively. I can make "Hungry Hen" or "Biggest Thing in the Ocean" *epic* but I don't know how to read "Freight Train" well. I need to talk to my coworkers, I definitely need advice and practice.
