Mice!  They’re so NICE!  Well maybe not when they’re in the kitchen pantry…but in storytime, they are awesome!!!  We read an opposites story (with a mouse) to stretch our minds, a story about a little mouse and a BIG secret AND a swashbuckling adventure tale about a Pi-Rat!  Phew!  If that wasn’t enough, we sang songs, jumped around, practiced our action rhymes and watched a DVD.  Here’s a sampling of what we shared:
