If You Love Books...

Come check out the Emergent Reader Story Time. Tuesday we read four fun books, starting with A Day in the Life of a Zookeeper by Nate LeBoutillier, think you know everything a zookeeper does in one day? You might be surprised to find out just how much a zookeeper does! To find out the most interesting facts about animals then you should read Out of Sight by Pittau & Gervais. Did you know pigs are good swimmers? Neither did I, this is just one of the amazing facts you'll discover in this book. And what else besides a fly will an old lady swallow, let me give you a hint, they rhyme with course, hat, and log! Read, Taback Simms' book There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly, to finish this riddle. So just who will be delivering your next pizza? And what would you say if a cat delivered your pizza? The crowd favorite goes to Virginia Walters' book, Hi, Pizza Man! -Carol

Springing Into Action

Valentine's Day story time was a hit. The kids stamped, colored, and glued to their hearts delight. They made beautiful cards to give away. Instead of cookies, we gobbled up red and pink cupcakes. Yummy! And just as delicious, we gobbled up two funny books, Banana! By Ed Vere and Can I Play Too? By Mo Willems.

Next week's story time is a mystery. I will have all new picture books to share, but I am keeping the craft a mystery. Hmm, what will i find in my craft box next? Come to story time to find out. :-)

Spring is just around the corner- that means I will be looking for new nature crafts to make, and spring theme picture books to share.

Join the fun every Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. in the Carnegie Room.

Valentine's Day Story Time

Painting rocks was lots of fun, but get ready for Tuesday, February 8th's story time because the entire story time will be devoted to Valentine's Day. We are going to make Valentine cards, snack on cookies, and read Valentine stories.

Last week we read Guido Van Genechtens book, No Ghost Under My Bed. Read the book to find out if this little penguin actually has a ghost in his room, conveniently at bedtime.

Want to see a cute Sumatran orangutan baby or how about a baby aardvark named Amani? Then check out Zoo Borns! by Andrew Bleiman and Chris Eastland.

We also read, Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak . A rumpus, a king, and wild things. It does not get much better than that!
