Turtle Splash! by Cathryn Falwell is a favorite for toddler and preschool Storytimes. It’s fun to countdown the turtles together as they splash into the pond. Each page adds an element of surprise by introducing a new pond animal, while the predictable pattern builds critical thinking. This book would pair well with a walk at the nature center or a nearby pond to look for turtles.
The Big Umbrella is a gorgeously illustrated picture book, perfect for a rainy Spring day. The illustrations tell so much story in fact, you could use this as a wordless picture book. The message of inclusion will warm your heart!
Get ready to “Jump In A Book With Jen” and open the gateway to reading! Experience interactive stories, songs, rhymes and chants to build phonemic awareness — a fundamental first step in learning to read. Come delight in books and spark imagination through this special time together!

"If I had young ones, I would definitely be taking them to these story times with my talented friend Jen! Co-teaching with her in my 2nd grade classroom, I got to see first hand her engaging read alouds."
-Dawn Puroway, Educator and Parent
