This week's "Star Reader" is Raiden!
Last week's Book of the Week was "This Little Piggy's Book of Manners", a charming tale about those who do good.
Our seventeenth Book of the Week is "Baby Beluga", song by Raffi, illustrated by Ashley Wolff.
"The song about this small, white whale has as its hero probably the best loved of all Raffi's creations. Children who are learning about the interdependence of all life on Earth, and of the crucial importance of preserving the fragile environment, will get a first, cheerful lesson about the natural world by becoming acquainted with enchanting Baby Beluga, swimming wild and free with his mother in the deep blue sea. He and his friends are somewhat anthropomorphic, in the interests of cuddliness, but this does the message no harm . The illustrations are a joy to behold, and the song has a rhythm and rhyme that make it easy to remember and sing."
If your child is between the ages of 0 and 3, we are starting a Lap-Sit program in October. The program will run every Saturday from 10:15 - 10:45 am. We will provide a combination of songs, nursery rhymes, fairy tales, and puppet stories. Register now for this free program, as spaces are limited.
Also, we will have a guest reader in the library on Mondays at 4:00. Bring your child to the Children's area for drop-in story time with Grandma Generous.
Stay tuned for our next Star Reader and Book of the Week, as well as more information about the exciting new children's programs we're offering!
