Today was a great storytime, and I can tell it was because I didn’t read everything that I brought.  It’s more fun when kids decide what to do.  We did read two fun books, a new one called Hello! Is This Grandma? by Ian Whybrow and Can You Guess? by Margaret Miller.

Can You Guess? is really fun because it asks a simple question like what do you put in a mailbox and seriously looks at, through photography, various silly answers like an elephant or a watermelon.�
We were going to read another book, but conversation turned to halloween costumes and Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, and all about sparkly red shoes.  Well it turns out that three whole people were wearing shoes that lit up and sparklead!  I took a movie of the shoes in their sparkly jazziness but I wasn’t able to get it right off the camera, so stay tuned for it.  For now here’s just a picture.  And before all this came up, Laura had shown us a collection of gems she found, and some of those were sparkly too!

What we did do was to imagine things that don’t normally sparkle, like shoes, and make them sparkle.  Here’s just a few:
