storytime

Last time at “early” storytime, I started reading Johnny Gruelle’s Raggedy Andy’s Stories, from 1920 – after having read his first book of stories about Raggedy Ann from 1919. They’re old-fashioned (also very white, though) children’s stories illustrated by the author. We’re about halfway through...

We’ll be reading the final chapter of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Roverandom and the last of the “Get-Along Gang” books that Squeakybunny gave me – after that, who knows? The “Early” Stream for our friends in the UK, Europe, etc.:11 a.m. EST / 8 a.m. PST /...

Continuing with J.R.R. Tolkien’s Roverandom in the morning, and in the late stream I’ll either repeat what I read in the early one or read more stories from the Get-Along Gang, courtesy of Squeakybunny! The “Early” Stream for our friends in the UK, Europe, etc.:11...

I started reading a Christmas gift in evening storytime last week, and people seemed to like it: Roverandom, by J.R.R. Tolkien. It’s about a dog who gets turned into a toy by a wizard and his adventures after that. Everybody knows about The Hobbit and...

I mentioned The Tomten by Astrid Lindgren last time, a beloved book from my childhood that I’m going to read this time, as it’s a book that takes place during winter but isn’t about Christmas so I didn’t have to fit it into the schedule...

Well, we’re done with Tolkien’s Letters from Father Christmas, but I’ve got lots more holiday things to read to you, including a story about Rudolph’s second Christmas, some things I always read at Christmastime, and I could always read some things that I read at...

Storytime as usual today! In morning storytime we’ll be reading more of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Letters from Father Christmas and maybe something else too! Evening storytime will be other holiday themed stuff, or the same thing if people missed it! The “Early” Stream for our friends...

Continuing with the Centenary Edition of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Letters from Father Christmas, we’ll learn more about life at the North Pole, the antics of Karhu, the North Polar Bear, and other characters at Father Christmas’ Cliff House. The “Early” Stream for our friends in the...

Last Sunday we started reading Johnny Gruelle’s Raggedy Ann Stories, the original Raggedy Ann from 1919 with the original illustrations. So classic! I’m going to read more of these. We have Squeakybunny to thank for my having this book to read to you! The “Early”...
