Storytime programs provide young children with early exposure to books and libraries as well support the development of intrinsic enjoyment and fulfillment associated with reading. Programming books such as Storytime Slam provide a framework from which library professionals can construct engaging, well-sequenced sessions. Preceded by a brief introduction with a first-person account of the purpose and goals of the book, the table of contents outlines the diverse array of topics addressed in the 15 lessons, such as: “B is for Bulldozer,” “Just Ducky,” “I’m Telling! Tales of Naughty Children and Animals,” and “Oh, No! Stories and Activities that Feature the Letter O.” An explicit, consistent format is reinforced throughout each lesson and begins with a summary paragraph explaining the topic. Picture books, music activities, and in some cases poems, movement activities, fingerplay activities, and craft projects follow in alternating chunks, illustrating the suggested structure of the 30-minute programs. Basic bibliographic information is provided for each of the recently published (2000-2006) books introduced in the lesson along with a concise description of the storyline. In addition, back-up and “throw-back” book lists are provided. Musical activities are fully described with lyrics, tune (paralleled with common songs), accompanying movements, and resources (albums) for locating a recording of the songs. With its wealth of literary resources and imaginative activities, this programming book provides detailed scaffolding for library personnel seeking to create entertaining and educational lessons for preschool and primary storytime.
