Storytime 1/12: Roverandom and Get-Along Gang

Storytime 1/5: Roverandom

I started reading a Christmas gift in evening storytime last week, and people seemed to like it: Roverandom, by J.R.R. Tolkien. It’s about a dog who gets turned into a toy by a wizard and his adventures after that. Everybody knows about The Hobbit and...

Storytime 12/29: Winter and Space

I mentioned The Tomten by Astrid Lindgren last time, a beloved book from my childhood that I’m going to read this time, as it’s a book that takes place during winter but isn’t about Christmas so I didn’t have to fit it into the schedule...

Storytimes 12/22: 3 Days to Christmas!

Well, we’re done with Tolkien’s Letters from Father Christmas, but I’ve got lots more holiday things to read to you, including a story about Rudolph’s second Christmas, some things I always read at Christmastime, and I could always read some things that I read at...

Last Sunday we started reading Johnny Gruelle’s Raggedy Ann Stories, the original Raggedy Ann from 1919 with the original illustrations. So classic! I’m going to read more of these. We have Squeakybunny to thank for my having this book to read to you! The “Early”...

Live Storytime Streams, November 10

Starting to look like autumn here. I wonder if I can find anything in my book stash (augmented by Squeakybunny’s huge book donation) that’s just about autumn, without being about Halloween or Thanksgiving? Well, if not, I’ll find something to read. There’s lots I’ve never...

Live Storytime Stream, 3 Nov. 2024

Well, by the time storytime rolls around, we in the USA (and Canada, too!) will have turned our clocks back, changing Eastern Daylight Time to Eastern Standard Time, so I’m effectively doing storytime an hour later, and the schedule’s back to its old familiar self....
