Storytelling: The Very Ugly Bug New

There once was a very ugly bug, with spotted legs, googly eyes and a hairy back. She wonders why her friends have pretty small eyes, shiny green backs, or nice fluttery wings. The ugly bug thought that if she looked like her friends, then she would be more beautiful. So she made herself a disguise. But her new costume made her even tastier looking to the birds!

Join us for a fun-filled session to find out what happens to the very ugly bug in this story about self-acceptance by Liz Pichon.

Storytelling: An Extraordinary Egg New

It’s an extraordinary day on Pebble Island for three frogs when one of them discovers a beautiful white egg. They’ve never seen a chicken egg before, but they’re sure that’s what this must be. When the egg hatches and out crawls a long green, scaly creature, they naturally call it . . . a chicken!
