Something special happens when we share an exceptional picture book with kids. These books can elicit a response that energizes them, which makes them perfect for read alouds. We have tagged these popular picture books in our elementary collection as ‘Storytime Standouts.’ Some of the characteristics of these books are repetition or repetitive phrases, wordplay, alliteration, and energy (although these books don’t have to be happy in tone).
To locate these crowd-pleasing picture books, type ‘Storytime Standouts’ in the search box of our library catalog and search by subject.
