Story Hour

Today’s Story Hour centered on birds and we gave the birds outside the library some nice peanut butter and pine cone feeders.  We read Elisa Kleven’s “The Lion and the Little Red Bird”, Lois Ehlert’s “Feathers for Lunch”, Rebecca and Ed Emberly’s ” Chicken Little” and selected poems from Alice Schertle’s ” Button Up!  The artwork in these books is outstanding, evoking requests from the children to “touch”, as well as look and listen.We also had fun with some fingerplays and rhymes involving movement.  Story hour is held every Thursday at 9:30AM.  Join us!
