Instagram voted and this week’s winner is Under the Sea!
If you didn’t immediately hear Sebastian’s voice in your head after reading that title, then you were not a mermaid obsessed 6-year-old like I was. Let’s look in the ocean this week! I love living a 15-minute drive from the sea – so many of these creatures are right at my doorstep.

It’s looking like a good year for ocean adventures! Reading Seagull & Sea Dragon seriously brought me to tears. It’s so beautiful! Piranhas Don’t Eat Bananas was a big hit this summer during an outreach summer camp storytime. I can’t wait to read it again and again for rhyming storytime… and fish storytime… and food storytime… and silly stories storytime… 🙂
I haven’t read either of those yet and now I’m even more excited!
Brand new librarian here (as of June 10) and I’ve just in the past few weeks started settling into doing story times and other programs. I used Tsurumi’s ‘Crab Cake’ along with ‘Fabulous Fishes’ by Susan Stockdale (a rare foray into non-fiction for me) for an aquatic theme, and ‘Crab Cake’ was *very* well received. This group skewed a little older (mostly young elementary school age) so they were better able to appreciate the humor, but even the smaller ones seemed to really be into it. Thanks for putting it on my radar!
Welcome to the best job in the world! And thank you for the feedback on the titles – I will definitely try those out when my holds come in.
