Book Buddies
Kindergarten – 1st grade

Wednesday, March 28: 4:45 – 5:45 P.M.
Theme: Animals
Children will read a nonfiction book about any animal before the program. (These books are located on the E Nonfiction shelf in the 595-599 and 636 sections.) They may read the book or parents may read to their children. Children will come to the program ready to share two facts about the animal in their book and will make a clay sculpture of their chosen animal

Wednesday, April 25: 4:45 - 5:45
Theme: Circle Stories
Circle Stories are stories that end in the same place where they began - the story makes a circle back to the beginning. Children will read The Best Nest by P. D. Eastman before the program. Copies of this book will be available at the March program or at the circulation desk after that time. At the program, we'll discuss The Best Nest and make our own circle stories. (You may check out Laura Numeroff's If You Give a . . . books (e.g. If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, If You Give a Pig a Pancake) if you'd like to read more circle stories.)
