READING CLUB FINALE

I Hopped Out of Bed and Jumped for Joy!  Songs and Stories
With Keith Torgan

What do waking up in the morning, going to school, having a new baby in the house, counting sheep, and wanting nothing more than to eat cake have in common? They're some of the things that kids experience everyday and need to talk about. In this funny, touching and very musical entertainment, Keith Torgan explores these and other themes that sing loud in the lives of children.

For those who have completed the Summer Reading Club

Tuesday, August 30, 10 a.m. or 11:30 a.m.
