Scared-Cat Splat by Rob Scotton. 

It's Halloween, and Splat is determined to be the scariest cat in the class. Unfortunately he's just too much of a scaredy-cat. He's afraid of a little spider, and everyone says his costume looks more silly than scary. And when Mrs. Wimpydimple tells a ghost story in the dark, Splat gets so frightened that he tips over his jack-o'-lantern. But when the lights go back on, the entire class is scared silly by a small, black, furry creature with a big pumpkin head. Whooooo can it be? 

Please join us for lots of fun, singing and a wonderful story.

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.
