Your guide to activities and fun things to do with your preschoolers, toddlers and kids in Oakland, CA

My current favorite places to read and hear stories are the yellow chair in the living room and the white chair in the kids' room.

Just last week, I asked Holden to tell me a story and he weaved this beautifully ridiculous story beginning with "Once upon a time" and ending with him (or the character "Holden" -- we can't be sure) giving the girl lots of hugs because she was very sad.

But just in case you can't hang out at my house for storytime, here are a few other local places: Berkeley, Albany, and Oakland libraries all have free story time) -- find one when you need it and make the trip!

Whitney's favorite nook is the North Berkeley Library. What's yours?
