I wasn’t able to take any pics of the show itself – but I did take some pics that I thought would be fun to share.  First off, this is a beautiful, classic building with the most scenic views.  Getting to the front door is even an adventure!

 

You can either cross over this slippery pathway – or trudge up the stairs through all the snow!  I choose to slide myself across the pathway. But I was met with a flyer for the show as you walk into the library – and it was a quaint, sweet crowd that joined us on one of the coldest days!

I will be off to Nahant tomorrow for a show at 3:00 – if anyone is near the area you should come to the library for some laughs!  Click on the image for more information!

WORD is a great child care place in Fall River and I was fortunate enough to be able to tell my tales there today – check out there facebook page where they have some great pictures and a few videos!  Click on the pic above!

 

I always have a blast going back to places over and over – and I have done the open house for Bright Horizons in Norwell every year it’s been open!  I love the way the school is set up and the effort the staff puts toward ensuring the children will have a great time!

My wife and Lex joined me that morning – and Lex enjoyed making a frame, meeting Frosty and exploring each classroom.  She especially enjoyed the “snow” table they had in the infant room and found a few tiny snowmen – which, as you can tell, made her crack up!

It was then time for the show and I had a nice group of toddlers join me for some puppets and songs and then we went back to Frosty!  Thank you to Bright Horizons who keeps inviting me back to entertain the kids that come that morning.

If you are around the Carver area this Saturday make sure you head to the Library and we will have a blast!  I look forward to seeing the crowd that comes – don’t let the snow stop you – and if you decide to come… I will keep you laughing… which will keep you warm… I think.

 

With so much snow pouring on our beautiful neck of the woods – it seems my house is sprouting it’s very own icicle garden!  I’ve had the past few days to relax thanks to all of the snow fall – but I am ready to get back to work!  So – it’s time to stop snowing, SNOW!

I do have to say – there is nothing better than waking up early, only to find out you can go back to bed, and your bed is still warm!  LOVE IT!  But seriously, it’s enough – time to get back out there…

I am more than excited to find really cute books that also have more of a simplistic drawing style.  I like how the illustrator used fingerprints for the character’s bodies.  Sometimes, when I had a classroom, I would allow the children to take a piece of paper and some crayons into circle as I read a story.  They could choose thier favorite picture and try to draw it – I would choose books that have beautiful but more simplistic art like Eric Carle, Leo Lionni – and that’s exactly what came to mind as I skimmed through this book.  It’s the perfect book to do that activity to.

 

Right after my show the other day one of the boys in the front said this:

“You’re my favorite!  Well, Uncle Charlie is my favorite – but you are my second favorite!”

 I am always being upstaged by him!

 

Here are some great shots from the crowds that I had this past Saturday.  I love telling stories to the children who come to my shows time and time again.  My favorite part is when I bring out the Alligator and the children get excited and start singing the Alligator song without me!

I told “George and the Loose Tooth” at the Holmes Library – and just to keep things interesting I told “The Little Pocket Snowman” to the wonderful crowd at the Paul Pratt Memorial Library.

So, thank you to everyone who came out – and make sure if you liked what you saw that you make your way to the Scituate Library this Saturday where I will be telling more hilarious stories!

 

Alright guys, this SATURDAY I will be at the Holmes Public Library in Halifax at 11:00 – and then zooming over to Cohasset to the Paul Pratt Memorial Library for a 1:00 show (please don’t mind me if I am out of breath when I get there!)  If you are in the area please come by – it will be a blast!  Click on the images for more info!
