(These are very old storytimes, so I don’t remember every detail about them. Instead of my regular post, I’m just going to write down the plan & craft, with a brief commentary on how it went.)

And Bingo was his name-o.

How It Went
This was a very fun storytime to do. This was my first time using puppets, and I thought that it went really well — and definitely prompted me to buy more finger puppet sets from Manhattan Toy. And my parents flipped over the craft. They are always very impressed with the amount of things that we make out of paper plates.

Katie –I love it that you found Cars for your story time, and I’m thinking that if you are still looking for firefighter books you might want to take a look at my Firefighters! Speeding! Spraying! Saving!.
It’s a very short text and has great pictures by Viviana Garofoli.
It’s available as a hardback picture book and also as a board book.
Best wishes,
Pat Hubbell
Thank you! I will definitely keep that in mind for the next time I need some firefighter books!
