Storytime topics

I will be running one of the story hours at the local library branch this summer. I am trying to put together some good ideas for books to read. At this point these are the themes I am thinking about. I will be having kids age 3-10 taking part. So each day I am hoping to read one younger book and one older book.

I welcome any suggestions for books that would be appropriate for the themes. I will be reading Monday - Thursday---so I need approximately 8-12 books for each theme.

My tentative theme list:

Week 1: Under the Sea
Week 2: Around the World in a Week
Week 3: Something Old, Something New (Caldecott Classics and Recent Arrivals)
Week 4: The United States
Week 5: Creativity
Week 6: Real People and True Stories
Week 7: Funny Books
Week 8: Ohio Writers

Other possible topics

Boys only/Girls only, Poetry, Families, Chapter Book Beginnings, Nature

Well the new job starts tomorrow so time for me to get some sleep.
