School Library Journal Review

This complete guide for story times, which covers programs for babies to early readers for an entire year, will be most helpful to new children's librarians, but includes original ideas to inspire even the experienced programmer. Divided into seasons, each program includes age appropriate books, music, games, and crafts. Recommendations are made for planning, handling unanticipated interruptions, and transitioning between activities and literacy information to share with caregivers. The baby programs are clearly described with opening and closing activities, music, and books. The preschool programs include suggestions for crafts and games, as well as music and books. The reader is helpfully directed to alaeditions.org/webextras for craft and flannelboard patterns, and to other sites for do-it-yourself projects and props to purchase. Ideas for recycling materials are also suggested. Particularly unique is the section on programming for emerging readers. The author is appreciative of a child's ability to discuss a story even if he is not a skilled reader. Suggestions for book clubs which develop a child's confidence through multiple senses are especially helpful. Appendices include rhyme sheets and model texts of reminders and policy statements for colleagues and parents. The bibliography and index are extensive. Clear black-and-white line drawings and photos are included.-Jackie Gropman, formerly at Chantilly Regional Library, VA (c) Copyright 2012.

Booklist Review

Perfect for busy library professionals who want ready-to-use plans, A Year in the Story Room delves into daytime and evening programming for young children through second-grade students. This text provides plans that consider the range of ages of story participants, program-attendance goals, and a wide variety of resources. The programs expanded upon in this text have been tried in a live library setting, and the advice for setting up such programs is extremely thorough. Organized by season, the programs include songs, rhymes, music, activities, questions, and books. Activity templates are available online. At the beginning of each chapter, readers are given information about preparing for programming and planning ahead as well as tips and tricks. In addition to traditional ideas, Roginski aims to shake up story programming by offering book-discussion-oriented programs for K-2 that promote reading for pleasure. Readers will find plenty of plans and resources to keep their patrons engaged and coming back for more.--Ranucci, Blaire Copyright 2015 Booklist
