Dexter, Missouri - Another fun filled morning at the Keller Public Library in Dexter.  Each Tuesday morning at 10:15,  a story is read by a wonderful guest.  The library story hours are so much fun, even the adults get into the action by singing along with the children.

The library's guest reader this week was Mary Ann Taylor and the kids sure seem to love her.  She is so exuberant and it was a pleasure to hear her reading of "Snow Friends"!  It's about Little Bear who wakes up early from his hibernation and is startled to see the world covered in SNOW!  Unable to find a playmate, he builds a snowman.  Otter and Rabbit are Little Bear's two friends.  The story is just simply too-cute.

There were quite a few children who endured the bitter, cold weather Tuesday morning to be entertained.  They sang, laughed, and a few were even crawling a little as they giggled.  Just good old fashioned fun! 

After they listened to Mrs. Taylor read her book, the children were able to sing more songs and do a little hokey pokey.  Then they all participated in some fun crafting activities by creating their very own snowman.  Some children colored a snowman friend.  Each child was very excited to take their artwork home!

Next week, the Keller Public Library will host "Tacky the Penguin" about a penguin that is somewhat eccentric and marches to the beat of a different drum and it will be read by Kim Cook.  Mark your calendar for 10:15 a.m. on January 22nd.
