Sometimes, you just want a theme that you know has some good books ready to go for it.  Farms is a great one to use for those days.

HOW IT WENT:
Overall, it was a pretty good storytime.  I liked both books and thought they worked well with the audience.  It’s always nice to do a flannelboard with a song the parents already know so they can join in.
