Story Time at the Wiscasset Public Library continues with winter and snow themes. A recent Story Time included the presentation of the picture book “Whose Tracks Are These?” by Jim Nail.
The reader is challenged to use clues in the snow to determine who has been here. After the story, the children were invited to make tracks in a pan of flour using some plastic critters.
Another week of Story Time featured three Big Books: “Each Peach Pear Plum” by Janet and Allan Ahlberg; “Hey Diddle Diddle,” and “From Head to Toe” by Eric Carle.
The Ahlbergs’ book offers the children an opportunity to find partially hidden nursery rhyme characters as they read through the book. Carle’s book invites the reader to mimic the same movements as the gorilla makes.
This past week, two new books were read: “No two Alike” by Keith Baker and “Oh, No!” by Candace Fleming.
Baker has twin birds realize just as no two snowflakes are exactly alike, everything in the snow covered woods has its own uniqueness.
Fleming begins his story with a frog falling into a big, big hole. Each animal that comes to the rescue likewise falls in while a tiger lurks about, watching his potential meal get larger and larger. The story has a happy ending for all except for the poor tiger.
Story Time is each Thursday at 10:30 a.m. in the Children’s Room of the Wiscasset Public Library.
