Story time at the public library is the first exposure to books outside the home for many preschool children. For the librarian, it is an exciting opportunity to instill in youngsters a love of reading and books. But coming up with new ideas that hold the children’s attention can be trying. Until now. Here are 55 tried-and-true story hour programs with a thematic approach. All are highly flexible and adaptable across the full preschool age range. Most of the ideas are arranged under one of eight specific themes that include four to eight one-hour programs: barnyard animals, the Caldecott Medal, colors, families, a storytelling feast, the five senses, reptiles and amphibians, and around the world. There are also 18 individual holiday and seasonal programs. All story hours provide ideas for name tags, suggested audiovisual materials, recommended story, poetry and song selections, additional titles and a full description of the activity.

Being her parents' sixth daughter with a natural inclination towards the outdoors has made Roxie the family 'tom-boy' and her Poppa's steadfast helper. As much as she desires this future with Will in their tiny cabin nestled in the north Georgia mountains, she is well aware that arriving in the dead of winter presents it's own problems. Still, overriding her joy or worries is an overwhelming homesickness. Wearied by the dawn to dust fight to eke out a sufficient life on this tiny spot of land, Roxie and Will discover much of their strength comes from leaning on each other and Will's sizeable family. But it is the generous providence of a loving God that sustains them the most. As days and years swell into a ceaseless flow of triumphs, backward steps, tears and joys, the love that binds them together stretches again and again to allow for every rough or unforeseen bend in their journey.
