PINK!

Today the Wiggleworms started with our Opening Song, where we said hi to the librarian,the statues, the color PINK and our Story Time friends!

BOOK: Pinkalicious
by Victoria Kahn
and Elizabeth Kahn

Cute story about a girl who turns pink after eating too many cupcakes. The kids thought it was hysterical – not many were familiar with the book! 

Trees!

Newtown holds a wonderful Arbor Day celebration every year at Brain S. Gregg Memorial Park at 130 N. Chancellor St..  Arbor Day is today – April 25th. The fun begins at 10 a.m. and all are welcome!  Please come join us, munch on an apple, sing some recycling songs and HUG A TREE, and come visit me over in the Chalk Drawing RAIN FOREST!

In honor of Arbor Day we had Story Time all about TREES this week. In our Opening Song, we said hi to the librarian, the books, our library friends and the TREES!

BOOK: A Tree is Nice
by Janice May Udry
illustrated by Marc Simont

I remember this book from my own childhood.  The 1957 Caldecott winner, this gentle narrative with gorgeous pictures gives a very nice overview of trees, their usefulness and beauty.

GREEN!

First we sang our  Opening Song, and of course we said hi to the librarian, our Story Time friends and the books.

BOOK: Green
by Laura Vaccaro Seeger

Very simple book showing the many shades of green. The kids had a fun time guessing what each shade would be called. The end has some fun surprises too!
