Reviews:
-"Peck (San Leandro Public Library; library and information science, San Jose State U., California) presents a practical guide for both novice experienced storytime presenters looking for new ideas. Coverage includes an overview of storytime fundamentals; storytime for babies, for toddlers, and for preschool children and families; incorporating music, songs, and fingerplays; bilingual storytime; crafts at preschool storytime; storytelling, puppets, and props; and using volunteers. Each chapter includes book and website resources. The text also contains an extensive list of storytime book suggestions, organized into 75 thematic categories, each accompanied by suggested craft activities and songs." —Reference & Research Book News
-"Practical and concise, this well-organized and readable guide is for inexperienced staff members who are not necessarily children's librarians. ...The book is a natural partner to Kendall Haven and MaryGay Ducey's Crash Course in Storytelling (Libraries Unlimited, 2006)." —School Library Journal
