Jon Agee Story Time - July 1-2, 2013

Books:
The Incredible Painting of Felix Clousseau by Jon Agee
Milo's Hat Trick by Jon Agee
Mr. Putney's Quacking Dog by Jon Agee *
My Rhinoceros by  Jon Agee *
Nothing by Jon Agee
The Retired Kid by Jon Agee *
Terrific by Jon Agee

Craft: Octopus
The craft looked very similar to the one pictured above.  The main different is that we only used a half sheet of cardstock rather than a whole sheet.  I pre-cut the tentacles before the story time so all kids had to do was color and then glue the octopus together.

Literacy Extenders:
- Check out a book of riddles and see how many you and your child can answer. (i.e. Mr. Putney's Quacking Dog)
- Talk about what it means to be retired (i.e. The Retired Kid)
