Summer Reading Stuffed Animal Sleepover

This summer we held a very special storytime in honor of our 'Dream Big, Read' Summer Reading Program:  a stuffed animal sleepover!  This was the library's third stuffed animal sleepover (see the 1st and 2nd) and you might think, what else could the animals possibly do in the library all by themselves?  Haven't they had enough fun?!

The answer is no.  There is always fun to be found in the library!

First we read stories and sang songs, then we tucked the animals into bed.  They were very cooperative.

What peaceful sleepers.

Did they really sleep, though?

Baby doll time.

"Look, it's me on the TV!"

Swinging from the rafters.

So many magazines.

How do we get in the dollhouse?

Mr. Jake helping with check-outs.

"Let me in!"

"Yeah, let us in!"

Researching snack ideas.

All that exploring makes you thirsty.

And it makes you hungry!

S'mores time!

Toasting the marshmallows just right.

Wolfie and Teddy get the graham crackers ready.

Elmo can't wait for the marshmallows to toast.

Elephant sneaks into the chocolate.

Monster joins the party.

KooKoo Bird snacks on a marshmallow.

What a crazy night!  They didn't sleep at all!  Looks like they are going to need a nap when they get home.  Make sure they brush their teeth, because they ate a lot of sugar while they were at the library.

Thank you for coming!  Look out for our 3rd Annual Stuffed Animal Sleepover in Winter 2013!
