With a growing Hispanic population, libraries must address the challenges of serving an increasing customer base of Spanish speakers, many with infant children. To engage these youngest library users and their parents, age- and language-appropriate materials are needed, but aren t widely available.

Now revised in an all-new Spanish-English bilingual edition, Flannel-board Stories for Infants and Toddlers features thirty-three original stories, chants, songs, and nursery rhyme adaptations for the youngest library customers between 12 and 30 months old. Developmentally appropriate stories, instructions for creating the simple yet engaging images, and front and back matter are all presented in both Spanish and English. The book comes with copyright permission; images may be reproduced for libraries and noncommercial storytimes without copyright concerns.

Both English- and Spanish-speaking librarians and early childhood educators will learn:

* The history and theory of flannelboard why and how it works
* How to make a flannelboard and the story pieces, and how to store materials
* Proven techniques for conducting flannelboard storytimes


Children s librarians, teachers, and anyone who works with young children can use the materials for storytimes in Spanish, English, or for bilingual audiences. It's all specifically aimed to delight infants and toddlers.
