Storytime with Sarah's Little Bookshelf
Welcome to Storytime with Sarah's Little Bookshelf.
A Storytime and education podcast for families with children aged 2 to 8 Years.
Here you will find a collection of children's poems and stories by Author Sarah J. Flackett.
After working with children for over 20 years, Sarah wanted to share her love of reading with children all around the world.
Each story or poem has been carefully written to allow children to have fun whilst learning along the way. Some episodes include age and stage follow up activities.

The Podcast is centred around 6 seasons, with new stories added regularly across all seasons.
