Five Reasons to Invite the Whole Family to Storytime: Adults enjoy being read to (even if they may not admit it). Parents and caregivers learn techniques for reading to children at home. Parents network with each other, creating a sense of community in your library. Teens interested in drama, literature, or early childhood education can perform. It's more fun! Author Rob Reid's highly participative, "family-tested" material is organized by theme, with each of the twenty-four programs running about thirty minutes. Included are songs, picture book suggestions, poems, fingerplays, as well as a "Mix and Match" section to help you customize new programs around the same theme. Invite the whole family to the library and let the fun begin!
