Storytime is a staple of teachers and librarians: gathering kiddos at the rug, welcoming them by name with a song or rhyme, opening a book, and inviting them to explore a new world. We've gathered a few of our upcoming picture books that we know will make for the perfect storytime read. With text that is a joy to read aloud, bright illustrations, funny stories, and more, these picture books are sure to engage and make your storytime the best ever!
