The Handbook of Storytime Programs, a classic resource by Caroline Fellar Bauer originally published in 1977 and 1993, has been masterfully updated to include vetted websites and YouTube videos to augment program planning. The earlier editions fluidly interwove many different types of literature, music, drama, and magic, making Bauer’s programs flow seamlessly from one aspect of storytime to another. The authors do not disappoint with this update. True to Bauer’s style of storytime programs, this book is not only filled with additional fingerplays, stories, poems, and activities, but has kept Bauer’s magic as well.
