January Preschool Field Trips

  This month, more than one preschool visited the library for a field trip.  A busy month!  After a tour of the library, we sat down for a short storytime.  I chose these books with a (light) transportation theme to entertain the kiddos.  


Crash, Splash, or Moo! by Bob Shea

Supertruck by Stephen Savage
