So it takes a lot for me to call this storytime “Creepy Crawlies” – because no one can pronounce my last name (it’s not that hard, seriously), some kids in grade school called me Creepy Crawly. But whatever, that was a long time ago and I’ve moved on. So here is a creepy-crawly storytime full of wonderful bugs.
