September 12, 2008--Part II

This Friday is storytime. Please feel free to bring your own teddy bear! Here are the stories we will be reading below:

Brown Bear Brown Bear What do you see? by Bill Martin Jr.
About the story:
The repetition and colorful illustrations in this classic picture book by Bill Martin Jr, make it a favorite of many children. On each page, we meet a new animal who helps us discover which creature will show up next. "Brown Bear, Brown Bear what do you see? I see a redbird looking at me...". This pattern is repeated over and over, until the pre-reader can join in with the reader, easily predicting the next lines. Giggles and raised eyebrows will accompany the story as the animals become stranger and stranger (a purple cat!?).

Brave Bear by Kathy Mallat
About the story:
Bear sees a young bird fall from its nest and wants to bring the feathery fellow home. But can Bear climb high enough? In this warm and fuzzy fable with sweet-tempered art, the hopeful hero thinks he can - and does.
