Description
In honor of Book Lover's Day, we will be reading two fantastic books during our FREE Story Time Thursday!Tacky the Penguin by Helen Lester: What do you think of when you think of penguins? Neat, sleek, tasteful little birds in formal garb, of course. That's Tacky the Penguin's problem. He's an odd bird who likes to do splashy cannonballs and greet his companions with a loud "What's happening?" In fact, he's something of an eccentric, which wouldn't be a problem if all the other penguins weren't such... conformists. Helen Lester and Lynn Munsinger have teamed up again to tell Tacky's story. it's about one day when some intimidating visitors come to the penguins' icy land. In their usual zany style, Lester and Munsinger demonstrate the problems and the advantages of being and individual.
Where the Wild Things Are by Mourice Sendak: This book was first published in 1963 to great critical acclaim. Brian O'Doherty of the New York Times said that Mr. Sendak's work, "disguised in fantasy, springs from his earliest self, from the vagrant child that lurks in the heart of all of us." Where the Wild Things Are is a classic tale that young and old are sure to enjoy again and again.
