The Library's new StoryWalk title is now on display at the French Art Colony.
Our title for August is If You Ever Want to Bring an Alligator to School, Don't! written and illustrated by Elise Parsley.
Today is nature show-and-tell day at Magnolia's school.
While all the other kids have brought things like a hollow stick, or a bird's nest, or some shiny rocks, Magnolia, who wants to have the best show-and-tell item of all, has brought an alligator!
Magnolia wants the alligator to sit quietly until show-and-tell, but the alligator has other ideas.
The alligator's mischief gets Magnolia in trouble -- being-sent-to-the-principal's-office-trouble.
Will the alligator behave long enough for show-and-tell? Will Magnolia get sent to the principal's office?
Read (and view) the story to find out!

Our next StoryWalk will be available the beginning of September.
StoryWalk is a way for children and adults to enjoy both the great outdoors and great children's books. Follow the pages of the story as you walk from frame to frame along the path. StoryWalk promotes literacy, physical activity, and parent/caregiver involvement.
The StoryWalk Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg Hubbard Library. StoryWalk is a registered service mark owned by Ms. Ferguson.
