Good Stories/Books for 2-6 Year Olds
Okay, I need some help/input. Next month, I am participating in a Peppermint Pageant with another chapter. I am to do story time for 2-6 year olds and Sorors will dress as characters to act out the stories. I know many of the popular stories, fairy tales, etc. From those who have kids this age group/know kids in this age group, what are some good stories that they enjoy that I could do at story time? I have Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories here at home and some anthologies as well as a Curious George book but I think it would be cool to have new ideas that I don't know about.
So bring it! List titles/authors and if you know of ones with a multicultural angle, that would be even better. I plan to spend some quality time at the library this week but if I can go in with a list in mind, that will be great. I need to let the Sorors know so that they can get their costumes. 
Please and thank you.

Not multicultural but the whole array of Spot books. I'm not sure how big they are any more. Great for the younger ones.

The Patchwork Quilt by Valerie Flournoy
A Three Hat Day by Arnold Lobel
Maebelle's Suitcase by Tricia Tusa
hope these help!

Thanks, all! The story time is an hour but I want to read over as many books as possible to get the best selection possible.

Dora the Explorer has got an "Around the World" adventure where she passes out friendship bracelets in China, Tanzania, Russia and France, and has words (mostly "hello"s) from each language.
