Stories to Go

Stories to Go bags are designed for three-, four-, and five-year-olds and contain everything you need for your own preschool storytime. Each bag is based on a theme used by Siouxland Libraries storytellers and includes five books, one DVD, a theme-related puppet or story prop and an activity sheet.
