SUMMARY:Virtual Animal Tales - The Busy Little Squirrel
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.

There will also be resources in the Discussion tab.\n \nWe were going to read this book in-person: The Busy Little Squirrel by Nancy Tafuri.\n \nThe leaves have started to fall. The air is cold. Squirrel needs to get ready for winter. He cannot nibble with the mice. He does not have time to hop with the frogs or run with the dogs. Will this busy little squirrel ever slow down? Focusing on all the charming features of the fall season\, this sweetly illustrated story features country animals\, pumpkins\, leaves\, apples and other signs of autumn.\n \nTo view the entire Animal Tales schedule\, click here.

SUMMARY:Animal Tales: The Busy Little Squirrel
DESCRIPTION:Our Park Naturalists and volunteers come to your local library each month to share a story about a native animal and lead a craft or activity. These programs are FREE to attend and are most appropriate for preschool to upper elementary age children. Advance registration is required by contacting your library.  \nPlease note: With the ever-changing circumstances involving the COVID-19 pandemic\, Animal Tales may become Virtual Animal Tales and/or an Animal Tales StoryWalk at McCloud Nature Park during any given month. Follow us on Facebook or contact your local library for updates. \nSeptember: The Busy Little Squirrel by Nancy Tafuri \nThe leaves have started to fall. The air is cold. Squirrel needs to get ready for winter. He cannot nibble with the mice. He does not have time to hop with the frogs or run with the dogs. Will this busy little squirrel ever slow down? Focusing on all the charming features of the fall season\, this sweetly illustrated story features country animals\, pumpkins\, leaves\, apples and other signs of autumn. \nOctober: Can You Do This\, Old Badger? by Eve Bunting \nThere are lots of things Little Badger can do that Old Badger can’t manage to do very well anymore. But Old Badger can still show Little Badger a few tricks to teach him how to become a badger extraordinaire – like how to catch fish\, where to find worms\, and how to get to the honey before the bees get to you. Old badgers are supposed to teach little badgers\, he says. It’s all part of the plan — and so is nap time! \nNovember: Time for Bed\, Little One by Caroline Pitcher \nLittle Fox doesn’t want to go to bed. He’s not tired yet! But morning is breaking and his friends are either eating breakfast or getting ready for bed. Finally\, Little Fox finds Squirrel and the two friends chase each other through the woods. But soon\, Little Fox is getting sleepy. Maybe it is time for Little Fox to get ready for bed after all. \nDecember: The Barn Owls by Tony Johnston \nTony Johnston’s The Barn Owls recalls in quiet tones the memory of a barn that has stood alone in a wheat field for one hundred years at least. The owls have nested there and have hunted in the fields and circled in the night skies as time slowly slipped by. Every night as the moon rises\, a barn owl awakens and flies out to hunt. \nClayton – Liberty Township  \n\nCall library at (317) 539-2991 to register in advance\nTuesdays at 10:30 a.m. \nSept. 7\, Oct. 5\, Nov. 2\, Dec. 7\n\nMonrovia  \n\nCall library at (317) 996-4307 to register in advance\nTuesdays at 1 p.m. \nSept. 7\, Oct. 5\, Nov. 2\, Dec. 7\n\nPlainfield – Guilford Township  \n\nCall library at (317) 839-6602 to register in advance\nWednesdays at 10 a.m. \nSept. 8\, Oct. 6\, Nov. 3\, Dec. 8\n\nBrownsburg  \n\nCall library at (317) 852-3167 to register in advance\nWednesdays at 4 p.m. \nSept. 8\, Oct. 6\, Nov. 3\, Dec. 8\n\nJamestown \n\nCall library at (765) 676-6190 to register in advance\nThursdays at 3 p.m.\nSept. 9\, Oct. 7\, Nov. 4\, Dec. 9\n\nRoachdale \n\nCall library at (765) 522-1491 to register in advance\nThursdays at 4:30 p.m.\nSept. 9\, Oct. 7\, Nov. 4\, Dec. 9\n\nAvon \n\nCall library at (317) 272-4818 to register in advance\nFridays at 2 p.m.\nSept. 10\, Oct. 8\, Nov. 5\, Dec. 10\n\nDanville \n\nCall library at (317) 745-2604 to register in advance\nFridays at 4 p.m.\nSept. 10\, Oct. 8\, Nov. 5\, Dec. 10

To make a lunch reservation\, please call (317) 910-5356 by 11 a.m. on the day before the program. \nWednesday\, Jan. 25 – Beavers \nBeavers are amazing engineers! Their adaptations help them complete their jobs most effectively. On land\, a beaver’s movements are extremely awkward\, making them vulnerable to predators. In water\, however\, beavers can swim up to 6 mph and they stay underwater for up to 15 minutes\, all which help beavers evade terrestrial predators. A naturalist will bring props to showcase this fascinating animal.

These programs are FREE to attend and are most appropriate for preschool to upper elementary age children. Advance registration is required by contacting your library.   \n \nJuly: Lousy Rotten Stinkin’ Grapes by Margie Palatini \nIn Palatini’s humorous take on Aesop’s “The Fox and the Grapes\,” Fox enlists Bear\, Beaver\, Porcupine\, and Possum to help grab some out-of-reach fruit. Concocting an elaborate scheme\, Fox ignores the other animals’ simpler\, sounder solutions. Moser’s considered watercolors humorously show realistic-looking creatures displaying human responses\, from calculating to exasperated. \nClayton – Liberty Township   \n\nCall library at (317) 539-2991 to register in advance \nTuesdays at 10:30 a.m.  \nJune 6\, Aug. 1\n\nMonrovia   \n\nCall library at (317) 996-4307 to register in advance  \nTuesdays at 1 p.m.  \nJune 6\, Aug. 1\n\nBrownsburg   \n\nCall library at (317) 852-3167 to register in advance  \nWednesdays at 4 p.m.  \nMay 3\, June 7\, July 5\, Aug. 2\n\nJamestown  \n\nCall library at (765) 676-6190 to register in advance  \nThursdays at 3 p.m. \nMay 4\, June 8\, July 6\, Aug. 3\n\nRoachdale \n\nCall library at (765) 522-1491 to register in advance  \nThursdays at 4 p.m. \nJune 8\, July 6\, Aug. 3\n\nAvon  \n\nCall library at (317) 272-4818 to register in advance  \nFridays at 2 p.m. \nMay 5\, June 9\, July 7\, Aug. 4\n\nDanville  \n\nCall library at (317) 745-2604 to register in advance  \nFridays at 4 p.m. \nMay 5\, June 9\, July 7\, Aug. 4
