We gave away two great titles from Scholastic Canada at our Sing, Rattle & Read program in September. "Fox and Squirrel" by Ruth Ohi is a delightful story of two very different animals who only see their differences. Yet they become the best of friends and begin to see that they may not be so different after all!
Our baby book of the month was "Giggle!" by beloved author and illustrator Caroline Jayne Church. Our Victoria moms, babies and toddler couldn't get enough of this book, as everyone loved to press the "giggle button," which made a happy giggling sound to complement each new verse and page!
"There's no greater thing to do/Than laugh and giggle here with you!"
Thank you to our member Jane for leading this fun program with puppets and stories borrowed from the Greater Victoria Public Library!
Congratulations to the lucky winners of this month's books! Please join us again for a free drop-in storytime and Scholastic book prize draw at at Chapters Victoria on Wednesday, October 16th from 10-10:30 am. Everyone welcome!
Rain, Rain, go away,
Come again another day!
Beloved children's author Caroline Jayne Church illustrates a favourite preschool song, "Rain, Rain, Go Away!" in this month's baby board book from Scholastic Canada! Adorable toddlers and stuffed animals are drawn in Church's signature style. This full-foil treasure is attractive for babies to hold and delightful to sing and share, rain or shine!

She shoots, she scores! Or at least, she will when the winner of last month's Scholastic baby book, "My First Hockey Book," by Ian Crysler, gets a little older!
The bright and colourful photos and the simple action words and concepts make this book a wonderful start to any child's first collection of hockey books. It is a great board book for babies and preschoolers to take with them to watch a hockey game or practice!
