I wanted to read The Empty Pot by Demi but ran out of time. However, the audience seemed to enjoy the various forms of storytelling and reading a book was not necessary. (I might use the book for class visits in the fall along with some of today's stories.) "Pot Luck" was the favorite story today. The children particularly enjoyed seeing the second wife being pulled from the pot. They also enjoyed "Don't Let the Tiger Get You!" mainly because of the silly "characters" in the story. Though the origami was simple, even the older children enjoyed it and a parade of colorful dogs and cats left the library this afternoon. I found it interesting that I had the exact same number of children and adults as I did for the previous program. I don't remember that happening before with Family Story Time.
