“March comes with a roar” in this rhyming story by Marion Dane Bauer of a lion who comes to visit, turning snowy winter into unforgiving rain and an ugly beginning to spring.\u00a0 But don’t worry, lion won’t stay around forever! We also played brave explorers of the imagination as we went on a lion hunt!<\/p>\n

Flannelboard Story<\/span><\/h2>\n

There is a drought in the land, and the magic tree will only give fruit if the animals can call it by name.\u00a0 But can anyone remember the tree’s name for long enough?\u00a0 We exercised our memories with Uwungelema, a flannelboard story taken from The Flannel Board Storytelling Book <\/a>by Judy Sierra.\u00a0 If you would like to read another version of this story, try The magic bojabi tree<\/a> written by Dianne Hofmeyr and illustrated by Piet Grobler.
