Raise your hand if you forget to read information books at storytime. *Raises hand* It’s true. It’s not that I don’t want to read information books at storytime.

Toddlers are a tricky group.  They can go from being engaged to running around the room in a matter of seconds.  I’ve written before about toddler language acquisition and how we can support it through… Continue reading Toddler Storytime Books: Authors to Know
