The Book Bunch is Just Ducky!

We're here for the books!





While the Book Bunch is aimed at children ages 4-7, during summer and school vacations we may relax the rules as attendance mandates. For our meeting this past Thursday, our members of the Book Bunch enjoyed duck themed activities as we read Phyllis Root's One Duck Stuck.




Copies are available at this and other libraries!






After reading the book we learned sign for some of the animals (courtesy of ASLpro):
duck
frog
fish
moose
possum
snake
skunk
snail

Then it was off to the races! Through funding by our generous Friends of the Library Group, we had a rubber duck race. Attendees raced ducks across a water pond (aka a plastic container!) and each participant was awarded a rubber ducks purchased with funds from the donation.

We also drew and colored our own ducks!
