“At her Thursday morning story hour, Anika Denise – a children's book author herself – manages to keep the Crayola set engaged with her silly demeanor and infectious passion for books.” - Rhode Island Monthly

Editor's Pick "Best Story Hour" 2009 |
One of my favorite things in the world to do is read to little kids. Not just my books, ANY books. When I let that slip to the owner of my hometown bookstore, a weekly children’s story hour was born! So now, every Thursday at 10:30 a.m., you’ll find me in the children’s section at Barrington Books in Rhode Island, reading some of my favorite titles by my favorite authors and illustrators.
Each week, we read 5 picture books around a theme, and then do a simple craft related to the stories. From dinosaurs, to trains, to cats, to cars – there’s always lots of giggling, wiggling and rollicking read aloud fun!
So, if you’re in the neighborhood, stop in and see us! Or, click here to see our weekly reading list and craft instructions, so that you can host your own story hour at home!
