Storytime with Josh!

Spark a Love of Science Through Stories.

Beginning July 11

Join us every Friday in the Cleveland Museum of Natural History's Corning Gallery for Storytime with Josh! Each week at 11am, we’ll dive into a fun, engaging children’s book brought to life with infectious energy and imagination. We’ll connect what we read to real Museum artifacts, natural wonders, or exciting science topics—turning storytime into a mini adventure. Free with general admission, this series is perfect for curious kids and their grown-ups!

Hosted by Josh Avsec, Associate Director of Museum Experience

Hi, I’m Josh! I’m a passionate, Cleveland-born zoologist, and I’ve spent my life exploring the wonders of the natural world—especially animals. Nothing makes me happier than sharing the magic of science with others, and that’s why I’m so excited to invite you on this reading adventure.

Together, we’ll learn about amazing animals, wild places, and the science behind it all. If you love fun stories, staying engaged, and a few surprises along the way, then I can’t wait to meet you. Let’s discover the joy and excitement of science—one book at a time!
