A scatalogical who-flung-it! This book is rude, crude and HILARIOUS! Perfect for your little one who just loves potty humor. It might just crack you up too.
Climb into your boat and row row row yourselves through the jungle. Don’t forget to roar when you see a lion or snap at the crocodile! This singable book is great for bedtime too, with a conclusion that reminds readers – “don’t forget to dream.”
Who is the scariest of them all – little tiger cub or the little crocodile? These two adorable animals face off comparing their mighty jungle animal traits, wandering deeper into the jungle. But are they really the scariest thing in the jungle or is there something even scarier?! EEK!
Here at the Vernon Area Public Library, we use the five early literacy practices — TALK, SING, READ, WRITE, PLAY — as the foundation for all of our storytimes. It’s never too early to start on these five activities to set the stage for reading readiness.
We offer storytimes beginning at birth, and all are welcome to stop by and visit — no library card required. But if you are a resident, you can sign up for your library card while you are here! Find our calendar of storytimes and other events.
If you would like more information about early literacy, what is happening at the library, and a printable calendar, subscribe to our quarterly Early Literacy eNewsletter.
