My colleagues and I have done story time on Facebook live but it is SO hard to do it without the children. This fall we are planning to take story time to the neighborhoods. We are working along with HOA to let us use their green spaces and such. You have been an inspiration. Thank you for all you do!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12871895483026864686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691585110755964273.post-44845157584944346592020-01-30T11:33:37.905-05:002020-01-30T11:33:37.905-05:00Can you tell me more about the Magic Envelope?

Not everything always goes over as well as I hope in storytimes either but I always feel proud when I put a lot of effort into producing something different and theme-appropriate (also I find at least one parent always thanks me for my effort and enthusiasm, which is encouraging). And I agree that if a book is good (or in the case of Where the Wild Things Are, GREAT and a timeless classic), I think it's important to expose kids to that. Not everything has to be flashy. Maybe they'll appreciate it later on, and at least you're setting the foundation for nostalgia!

This one is easy and fun - most songs and rhymes I adapt to fit a theme just go over kids' heads, but this one is nice and simple and you could probably start off with the original too.
