There are challenges to creating programs for mixed-age groups over a wide range of developmental stages, while keeping these programs "age appropriate" and engaging the children. This book offers the background knowledge and framework to use as a springboard for understanding the complexity of interactions with children, and for increasing your own creativity as you plan and present storytimes.
