Greetings from pleasant Westerville, Ohio! What a great time I've had with my new friends! I received a warm welcome by Booker, a really fun and well-read bunny who lives at the library. Forget bear hugs, bunny hugs are the best!
Then I had a look around the library. I listened to
a Playaway, which is like an audio book in it's own
a Playaway, which is like an audio book in it's own
little MP3 player. Very cool!
And I looked at a really cool display of about a bazillion Pez dispensers. I asked what these were doing at the library. Turns out it's a kid's collection. Any kid in the whole community can have their collection displayed at the library. How cool is that?!
Then I had to rush because I arrived just in time to celebrate the Westerville Public Library's 80th birthday! Let me tell you, those crazy Westervillians sure do know how to throw a party! There was a giant 80 (see me in the middle?), and huge birthday cake that didn't taste very good, and a little cake that was really yummy!
Plus, there was a really fun storytime, and a magician, and balloon animals!
Then I stayed for a really fun program all about narrative skills. I didn't know this, but I guess there are things every kid should know about before going to school, and one of those things is being able to tell stories. Anyway, I sure got lots of practice -- we listened to a story called The Gunniwolf. (It sounds scary, but it's got a happy ending!) Then we acted out the story with yoga poses, and then all us kids got to tell it with stick puppets! Too bad it we were all having so much fun we forgot to take pictures!
I sure did have fun in Westerville, and I'm sad to go but also excited about my next adventure! Talk to you again soon!
Sincerely,
Tucker Turtle
