Story Time: Favorites

Let’s have some fun with a few of the librarian’s favorite classic picture books!

Join us Tuesdays, and Wednesdays at 10:30 a.m. in the Community Room or Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m. in the Activity Room.

Ages 3-5

Sing, Talk, Read, Write, Play

Tip

The concept of loud and soft plays an important role in music and throughout life. Children need to know when a loud voice is OK and when a soft voice is required. Through music, they can have fun learning the difference between loud and soft. – “Reading Picture Books With Children” by Lambert

Activity

When you sing, “Two Little Blackbirds,” with your child, sing the word, “soft,” softly and the word, “loud,” loudly.

Where Has My Hat Gone?

Did someone hide it from me?

Chicken in the Egg

Chicken in the egg
Sits so still
Will she come out?

Two Little Blackbirds

Two little blackbirds sitting on a hill.

by Marybeth Isle | Mar 31, 2026 | Blog, Kid's Corner, Story Time | 0 comments

Story Time: Something NEW in March

Reading a ”new” book with your child can be an enchanting and exciting experience! After your child selects a new book, perhaps about a favorite topic like dinosaurs, trains, or animals, take a “picture walk,” and flip through pages. Look at the illustrations and try to guess what the story will be about. This helps your child activate prior knowledge, encourages predictive thinking, and improves narrative understanding.

Join us Tuesdays, and Wednesdays at 10:30 a.m. in the Community Room or Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m. in the Activity Room.

Ages 3-5

Sing, Talk, Read, Write, Play

Tip

When you give your child positive reinforcement by clapping or telling them that they did a great job, you are encouraging them to act both independently and cooperatively. To encourage this at home, use activities that your child can do easily, and don’t forget to give a lot of positive encouragement. — Lambert

Activity

Pick some simple activities your child can do that will fill an entire day. After they do the activity, even if they fail, encourage them with clapping, hugs, and positive reinforcement. Then, at bedtime, talk about the things they accomplished that day.

Giraffe's Book is Missing a Story by DK Ryland

When faced with a blank page, Giraffe and friends invite the reader to help them craft a story using teamwork and creativity in this interactive follow-up to the bestselling Giraffe is Too Tall for This Book. Furry, feathered, and scaled-our favorite animal friends are back and finally ready to read… If they can figure out what story to tell. Fresh off of their first adventure, the six friendly animals face a new puzzling predicament-a blank page! (Which can be a little scary, but it can be fun, too.) With colorful speech bubbles, each of the animals-Giraffe, quiet Mouse, problem solving Snake, anxious Elephant, grumpy Cheetah, and Flamingo, who just wants everyone to get along-join in telling an increasingly wild story. As the animals navigate the tale’s many twists and turns, it’s up to the reader to help keep things moving through playful actions, like tap-tap-tapping on a magic wand, tilting the book to help Elephant swim faster, and more. Promoting engagement and creativity, this interactive adventure is ready to bring fun to story times everywhere. Giraffe, friends, and the reader work together to weave a hilarious adventure with new surprises at every turn, proving that all it takes to tell a story is a little imagination-and lots of teamwork!
