Marlee's mama gave Marlee a hair cut so that her hair would look nice. In fact the Marleewood beauty shop was quite busy with the children all wanting to look their best for Story Time. They had all gotten invitations too.
Hannah's grandma came in and fixed her hair, and Myla got her fingernails and toenails polished just especially for Story Time.
(But partly because it was going to be her birthday pretty soon.) Arieanna had her turn to get all fixed up for Story Time. Ryan got his hair cut too. Even Addison's grandma and Grandma B took a turn getting their hair cut and colored for Story Time.
Everyone was talking about what the story would be. There was a lot of chattering going on at Marleewood today. Such fun everyone was having.
They all wondered what Story Time would be like because they had never been to one before. They also wondered what the story would be about today. So many questions. They both liked the lady that works at the library, but they didn't think that she was the one that was going to tell the story for some reason. The invitation didn't say who the guest story teller was going to be.
Soon it was time to go to the library. As Grandma B drove up she could see that there were lots of children as well as grownups going in the door. They could see that there were many many cars parked outside. What in the world was going on do you think? The story teller must be someone famous for all these folks to come to a small town library.
Grandma B finally found a parking place. When she and Marlee walked in the Story/Movie Room they couldn't believe their eyes. The room looked just like the Pirates of the Caribbean movie set. There were palm trees, pirates, parrots, and everything you could imagine for a Pirate Story. Oh how exciting this was!Soon the librarian came in and introduced the story teller for this afternoon. There was a gasp and then complete silence.
The Story Teller said, "Ahoy, there maties! Are you landlubbers ready for a story?"
Then everyone clapped and yelled and ran to the front of the room with hugs and more hugs.
Well who in the world do you think the Story Teller is?
Story Time is most wonderful idea for parents to take advantage of. The children learn the rules of the library and the love for books. Listening to the great stories that can take them all over the world will motivate a child's imagination. Imagination is key to so much fun.
