discover[stor]ies: Soirée "Doudou et Pyjama"

The public library in La Bretagne celebrated its 20th Birthday last week.

A weekfull of events took place,

We were involved last Thursday for a special "Soirée Doudou et Pyjama"

(ie: Teddy Bear and PJ party)

The afternoon rain sent our outdoor project to the drain so we filled the library instead.

My mum can make anything grow

YES, "jaune" in English IS "yellow",
good job!

It's a BLUE whale

I love my mum, and you know what?
She Loves ME,
(and she always will...)

Can you help Maisy and Charly pick the right colour for the carrots?!

ORANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is our reading list for the evening:

My Mum by Anthony Browne

Maisy's Big Flap Book by Lucy Cousins

Where's Spot? by Eric Hill

Monkey Puzzle by Julia Donaldson

Ketchup on your Cornflakes? by Nick Sharrat

Pajama Time! by Sandra Boynton

I came up with a plot line to unify all these books and to fit in the theme of the evening,

but it was one of these "you had to be there thing",

I tried to write it down on this post but it makes it sounds very boring,

when really it was not!

Special thanks go

to Frédérique Clain at the public library for inviting us to join the celebrations of the 20th birthday

to Marie-Laure and Cédric who kindly helped take care of my younger children

to Nicolas who came out of work early to take pictures and care for our kids

to Al, Sam, Eliott and Anton (our 4 boys) for being so good that evening,

and finally to all of you who came

and showed such appreciation for our work.

Thank you

and see you next time!

"Bookishly yours"

Emma
