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!

Kristen's mom and dad got lost on the way to the hospital and ended up at the zoo! They bring home a baby that is not Kristen's baby brother. After a few more baby mix-ups, Kristen decides to go to the zoo herself and find her real baby brother to bring home.
"Alligator Baby" by Robert Munsch and illustrated by Michael Martchenko is a hilarious board book that my own toddler, preschooler and school-age kid all love.
