Storytime: Wonders of Nature

I'm doing storytime for Parks and Rec this summer (older kids, grades 3-5).  This week they requested "The Wonders of Nature", which is very vague.  So, I kind of went for animals and crazy weather.



 Is a Blue Whale the Biggest Thing There Is?

(Not a hit in the park in the summer. So I switched it for the second group to my next book.)



Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs

(For being so long, they listened really well.)

(One kid rolled his eyes, "Not a rhyming book!" But they were all attentive once I got into it.)


 A Zooful of Animals
