Preschool Nature Storytime!
For ages 3-5
Monday, February 27, 10 a.m.
Maybe you saw the
penguin movie "Happy Feet", or visited
the penguin exhibit
at Sea World. Since
we don’t live in the
Antarctic, most of us
aren’t able to visit
penguins in their wild
habitat. What are they
like? Do they live in
houses? Do they
swim or walk, fast or
slow? And what do
they eat? Come to this month’s Storytime and find out
more about penguins and their friends. We'll enjoy a story,
songs, and a craft.
If you have any questions about Storytime, contact:
Mary Ellen for details
