For our\u00a0sixth storytime of the session we celebrated Mouse’s birthday!\u00a0 We even baked a birthday cake!<\/p>\n

Below you\u2019ll find a record\u00a0of everything we shared!<\/p>\n

Fun FACT:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>The nursery rhyme, Pat-a-Cake, Pat-a-Cake<\/em>, was first published in 1698 but the author remains unknown.\u00a0 Just think, 321 years later and we recited it during storytime today!<\/p>\n

In The Fairytale Cake<\/em><\/strong><\/a> written by Jonathan Langley and illustrated by Mark Sperring we see\u00a0a group of beloved nursery rhyme and fairy tale characters baking and delivering a very special cake for a little boy’s birthday!\u00a0 This picture book is wonderful for so many reasons, not the least of which is the wonderful 3-layer cake!\u00a0 At the end of the story, children get\u00a0to join the little\u00a0boy in closing their eyes and\u00a0making a wish before he blows out the candles.<\/p>\n

Little Gorilla<\/em><\/strong><\/a> by Ruth Bornstein is a sweet tale about a little gorilla who is loved by everyone in the forest.\u00a0 Yet, he fears that he won’t be as loveable as he grows into a HUGE gorilla.\u00a0 However, on his next\u00a0birthday he is proven wrong as all the forest animals come\u00a0to his birthday party to\u00a0show him how loved and special he is (regardless of his size).<\/p>\n
