Summer StoryWalk® 2019
The new StoryWalk® book at the Thielke Arboretum is The Three Little Pigs written and illustrated by James Marshall. Think you know the story of the three little pigs? Not until you’ve read this version, retold and illustrated by Caldecott Honor winner James Marshall. Children will know and love the familiar characters-three pig brothers and one huffing-puffing wolf-and they will giggle over the funny, new dialogue and cartoon like illustrations, which put a fresh, modern twist on the classic tale.
If you haven't experienced the StoryWalk® concept before, this is an excellent opportunity to explore and build reading confidence in children. StoryWalk® is an innovative approach to encourage people of all ages to get out in nature and read at the same time. The StoryWalk® concept was created by Ann Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and is currently used in 48 states and four countries.
The Planning Team would like to thank Sally Morgan, co-owner of The Curious Reader, an independent bookstore located on Rock Road, Glen Rock as well as Paul Duggan owner of Mail & More on Rock Road. Each of these local business owners supports the StoryWalk® literacy endeavor through the contribution of a book and laminating materials.
This StoryWalk® will be up throughout the summer. Enjoy the outdoor reading experience over and over. The StoryWalk® is free, but donations are always appreciated. And, support our generous business owners as they have supported StoryWalk®.
