Storyhour Fun

letcolib — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 20:27:14 +0000

One of the story hour favorites is to sing the ABC’s. A new twist offered by one of the children is.. “A B C D E F G, wash those germs right off of me.” Silly songs are lots of fun but the fun really starts with Ring Around The Roses 4, 5, 6 times.

Your child will laugh, listen and sing at the library. Join us.

Making them happy makes me happy…
