Storytime: Be Yourself!

So, this list includes a lot of my very favorite children’s books ever. I had been looking for a theme that would tie all of them together, and I found it. Stretchers were more of a challenge – I ended up going with some popular selections, because repetition is good for us anyway.

The books on the first list, in particular, are all pretty long. I ended up substituting some of the shorter books from the second list a few times. The Little Rabbit Who Likes to Say Moo, by the same guy who wrote I’m Not Cute, is a lot of fun and lets everybody make animal noises.
