Books We Shared<\/h2>\n

\"fox-and-the-jumping-contest-by-tabor\"<\/a> \"dinnertime-by-williams\"
\nThe first book we shared was the inspiration for this storytime: Fox and the Jumping Contest<\/a><\/span> by Corey R. Tabor. \u00a0Fox isn’t the best jumper, but he really wants to win the jumping contest. \u00a0So, like any scheming fox, he decides to find a way to win. \u00a0But everything may not go the way Fox plans. \u00a0This book is brand new, so we should be getting some more copies in soon.<\/p>\n

Our second book also featured another fox that may not get everything he hopes for. \u00a0In Dinnertime!<\/span> by Sue Williams, illustrated by Kerry Argent<\/a>, a hungry fox sees 6 fat bunnies. \u00a0He pounces on them page after page — but things may not turn out as you think! \u00a0Read this fun counting-down book to find out.<\/p>\n
