Summer 2018 Preschool Storytimes: Weeks Six and Seven 7/10/18 & 7/17/18

Weeks six and seven introduced families to Jane Yolen and Bob Shea.  Many people know Jane Yolen's How Does a Dinosaur... books, but I highlighted ones that aren't as well known.  In week seven, we enjoyed the magic that is Bob Shea.  Oddly enough he's also best known for dinosaur books like Dinosaur vs. the Potty and Dinosaur vs. the Library.  Wow, didn't really plan that!  He also has some other great books that we read, including Big Plans, a personal favorite.
