It's a hot summer day, and Brownie and Pearl are off to take a dip in their small blue backyard pool. They grab their bathing suits, their beach ball, and their super-chic sunglasses and get ready to soak. But when--oops!--Pearl takes a surprise spill into the water, will Brownie be able to revive her pal's sopping-wet spirits? Complete with lemonade and sunbathing, this Brownie & Pearl story subtly models conflict resolution--and is incredibly refreshing! 

Come join us as Brownie and Pearl have a fun day with their wading pool.  Today our Every Child Ready to Read is based on Print Motivation.  Cute stories like this help a child want to read and print.

We will sing silly songs and hear our wonderful story.  We will create butterflies for our craft.  We hope to see you here.

Word is out that rough, tough Big Bro is coming. The news spreads quickly through the jungle, sending all the animals into hiding. Finally, brave mouse volunteers to creep out and have a look, returning with the warning that he is indeed coming! When tiny mouse's older sibling appears, all the animals are humiliated. Nevertheless, the "Boo" that Big Bro roars manages to startle them all, and they concede to little mouse that he is indeed rough and tough. 

Come join us for this fun story, learn how to make an elephant noise, sing silly songs like "If You Should Meet an Elephant", and more.  We will also be creating special animal crafts. See you here at 10 a.m.

Again! by Emily Gravett.  It's nearly Cedric the dragon's bedtime -- there's just time for his mum to read him his favourite book. Unfortunately for her, Cedric likes the story so much that he wants to hear it again . . . and again . . . and again . . . with incendiary consequences! A typically clever and quite irresistible book from a star talent. 

This story is a great book for young children.  They love to hear their favourite story told my parents and caregivers over and over.  Again!encompasses the Narrative Skills that encourage children to listen to this wonderful story as baby dragon anxiously waits to hear his special book.

We will be creating a special craft for the children to give to Mom's for Mothers Day.  Please come and join us as we hear our wonderful story and sing our silly songs over and over again!

And then it's spring written by Julie Fogliano and illustrated by Erin E. Stead.  

Simple text reveals the anticipation of a boy who, having planted seeds while everything around is brown, fears that something has gone wrong until, at last, the world turns green. 

 This book is a great example of Narrative skills.  You can tell this story over and over again.  Your child can explore each page and discover something different each time.  

We will sing silly songs, hear this wonderful story and create a spring craft.  Please bring your little ones and join in the fun.....
