I had a very fun Mo Willems Pigeon mini-storytime (less than 20 minutes) yesterday at Gail Borden. I’ve always wanted to do an all-Pigeon storytime… and I finally did it! Though, I admit, I probably won’t do it again… Pigeon stories are very active and intense (even if very fun!)! I was pooped afterwards. I guess I need Pigeon in smaller doses:) I had a wonderful time being a volunteer “Story Chef” over at Gail Borden this year… Reading was sooooo delicious.<\/p>\n

I’m back on “storytime break” until the last week of September… but I’ll likely post on the blog before then. Happy storytiming, friends!<\/p>\n

\nMr. Pigeon went out one day
\n(Hold up one hand)
\nIn bright sunshiny weather
\nHe met Mr. Duckling along the way
\n(Hold up other hand)
\nThey stopped to talk together
\n(Hold up both hands, Have hands “talk” to each other)
\nCoo, Coo, Coo
\nQuack, quack, quack
\nCoo, Coo, Coo
\nQuack, quack, quack
\nAnd then they both went back
\n(hands behind back) Quack!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
