What Was Read - Morris Arboretum - September 10

Ah fall! School has started. The leaves are starting to change colors and we have a very hot and humid day! That didn't stop families from enjoying some stories at Morris Arboretum today! Today's special theme was farms, in honor of all the farm festivals and harvesting that will be coming up soon.

What was Read

• Giggle, Giggle, Quack / by Doreen Cronin ; pictures by Betsy Lewin.:Farmer Brown and Duck are back (of Click, Clack, Moo fame!). This time, Farmer Brown is taking a well-deserved vacation. He left notes for his brother and Duck, so far, hasn't done anything. Why is Duck looking at that pencil?
• Chickens to the Rescue / John Himmelman.:There is trouble at the farm! A watch down the well? Dog ate homework? A cow in a tree? The chickens are here to save the day!
• Barnyard Banter / Denise Fleming.:Animals on the farm make different noises. Through out the farm, there is a goose chasing something.

What We Did

• Sang my favorite opening and closing songs: "If You'd Like to Hear a Story" and "The More We Read Together."
• Performed the rhyme "5 Squeaky Clean Pigs"
• Sang "Old MacDonald"

I'll be at Morris Arboretum again on October 8. at 10:30 AM*

*Please note if you want to attend this story time, you must register in advance and you may need to pay an admission fee (unless you are a member). We do have a Morris Arboretum pass available to check out of the library.  I am there once a month and another librarian from Montgomery County is there on the other Tuesday.
