Our story this week is "The Bears We Know" by Brenda Silsbe.  Does anyone really know the bears next door? Every neighbourhood has its black sheep... but this one has bears. Well, nobody has actually seen the inhabitants of the house at the end of the road, but that doesn't stop the gossip about The Bears We Know. In colourfully mischievous illustrations, readers are invited to see for themselves these ursine neighbours living life as they see fit. They sleep late every day, and their house is a mess. They eat bagfuls of chips, and they jump on the furniture. They sing songs that make them cry, and they stay up way too late. Also, they growl if anyone gets too close, so nobody visits. But you don't need to visit to know all about these bears... right? Originally published as a mini-book, The Bears We Know is back in a full-sized format with new illustrations that highlight the hijinks of these unsavoury neighbours. This playful story promises to charm even as it challenges with the question "Does anybody really know their next-door neighbours?" 

Our book this week is from "Tumble Books"  Tumble books is available on our Kids page of our website.  Or you can click on this link

Pooh and your child learn just how unpredictable nature can be in Blow, Wind, Blow.  When the wind dies down at the big Kite-Flying Festival, everyone goes off to play-only to discover that the wind can return just as suddenly as it left.  In this and other volumes in the series, new and exciting discoveries await your child at each stage of development.  

Our theme for every child ready to read is print motivation.  Every time you read a story to your child you help to develop the desire to print and read.  It only takes a few minutes to read a book.  

Please join us for this wonderful story.  This week we are exploring how apples grow.  We will sing wonderful songs and create a fun craft.  We hope to see you here.
