AUGUST

BUGS & INSECTS

All our Story Time programs in August were about bugs and insects.  Each week we read a book and then had an activity/craft to go along with our story.

WEEK ONE

Open your ears to the wonderful concert happening every warm day and night in our yards, fields, and woods nearby. Who are making those sounds? Can you sing along? (from publisher)


WEEK TWO

They crawl up walls, they hide in cracks, they flip, they fly, and sometimes . . . crrrash. Beetles come in all shapes and sizes, and they are everywhere in this thoroughly buggy, beautifully designed book.

There are striped beetles, spotted beetles, all-over-dotted beetles--and don't forget the noisily gnawing beetles! Whether you love bugs or whether the sight of them makes you itch, you'll adore this infested offering from the beloved Denise Fleming. (from publisher)

 WEEK THREE

Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a perennial favorite with children and adults alike. Its imaginative illustration and clever cut-out detail charts the progress of a very hungry caterpillar as he eats his way through the week. (from publisher) 

 WEEK FOUR

Get the buzz on bugs in this picture book from Angela DiTerlizzi!

Grab your magnifying glass!
Find your field guide!
And come hop, hide, swim, and glide
through this buggy backyard world!

Featuring insects including butterflies and moths, crickets and cicadas, bumblebees and beetles, this zippy rhyming exploration of backyard-bug behavior is sure to have insect enthusiasts of all ages bugging out with excitement! (from publisher)

 Story Time is every Wednesday and Friday morning at 10:30 a.m.  (Choose Wednesday or Friday).  Our Story Time programs are meant for children ages six and under.  Every week we sing songs, read a story, read a poem, have snack, and either play a game or make a craft.  We would love to have you!  Please call 256-386-9212 or email ksherron@muscleshoals.lib.al.us for more information.
