This month’s storytime will introduce Little Historians to animals of the ice age through stories, activities, and a very special visit from the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium! Get ready to discover how different animals use their special senses to help them survive, while comparing your own senses to those of some animal visitors.

Through reading, play, and hands-on discovery, little learners will explore history in engaging, age-appropriate ways while making memories and new friends along the way.

Come for the stories and stay for a day of family fun exploring the Smithsonian’s home in Pittsburgh!
