This month’s storytime discusses the library’s summer reading challenge, features two books, some book recommendations, two songs, and other activities.

The storytime, which also provides an option for captioning, starts with an introduction and is followed by the reading of Susan Stockdale’s “Line Up: Animals in Remarkable Rows.”

Then, viewers can follow a felt-board story and take part in a sing-a-long of “Clap and Sing Hello.” The second book during the storytime is “Papa’s Magical Water Jug Clock” by Jesus Trejo.

The second story is followed by a song involving egg shakers and the storytime closes out with a goodbye.

At the end of the video, children and their caregivers are given two book recommendations for  those who enjoyed the selections read during the virtual storytime - Joshua David Stein’s “Solitary Animals: Introverts of the Wild” and Hannah Eliot and Jade Orlando’s “Who Takes Care of You?”
