SUMMARY:Virtual Animal Tales: Stranger in the Woods
DESCRIPTION:Normally our park naturalists come to your local library each month to share a story about a native animal and a related craft or activity with preschool through upper elementary age children. This program is FREE to attend.\n \nThese resources are available at any time\, since this is not a live program.\n \nCheck our Facebook page as the first full week of the month approaches for a Facebook event regarding this month’s Virtual Animal Tales program. In the Discussion tab of the Event\, you will find a variety of resources relating to this month’s story.\n \nIn January\, we were going to read this book in-person: Stranger in the Woods by Carl R. Sams II and Jean Stoick. This book is available at many local libraries\, and some even have this available in a digital format.\n \nSummary:\nForest animals\, awakened by the birds’ warning that there is a stranger in the woods\, set out to discover if there is danger and find\, instead\, a wonderful surprise. \n\nTo view the entire Animal Tales schedule\, click here.
