Buddy, a goldendoodle, was all ears as friends came by to read stories to him this month. We aren't sure who likes this program more…the dog or the kids?

This month was all about Mo Willem’s. We read a few of his books, including The pigeon needs a bath! We sang a bath song and counted ducks. Then we crafted our own pigeon to take home. I hope no one lets their pigeon drive the bus!! [fsg_gallery id=”29″]

Twenty-five years ago, we fell in love with Disney’s The Little Mermaid. Today she is a favorite of a whole new generation. Families sang along with Ariel and got their pictures taken with her! Kids also enjoyed goldfish crackers and made a crab craft. [fsg_gallery id=”33″]

Me-ow! This month we read all about cats, the sounds they make and what they do, like go to school in “The Kindergarten Cat”. See all the purr-fect crafts the kids made. We may have a few cat lovers after this storytime! [fsg_gallery id=”34″]

Families got in on the act with this entertaining, interactive show that took place at the Huntley Park District Gym. After seeing Jason's amazing feats, kids got to try some balancing of their own!

How many times have you asked if you could open up the printer or phone and see what's inside?  You could do it at this program!  Families worked together to take apart and explore the insides of gizmos and gadgets to learn how things work. Looks like fun for all!
