This Little Pig went to the Library...

...because this little pig didn't want to stay home...
This little pig wanted to make something,
and this little pig wanted a song...
And this little pig said "Read it again!"
All the way home!

Trot into the Busselton Library at 10am on Wednesday 13th April for another free storytime session... this time it's all about PIGS!

If You're Happy and You Know It...

Would you take up an activity, or encourage your children to engage in it, if you knew that it could reduce the risk of dyslexia and dyscalculia, improve cognitive abilities, social integration, handwriting and spelling and make you feel more focused and less tense?

An Israeli researcher has recently conducted the first-ever study of hand-clapping songs, which has revealed a direct link between those activities and the development of important skills in children and young adults.

See Israel21c's article on the study here.

Libraries make good use of hand-clapping rhymes in regular Storytime, Baby Bounce and Toddler Time sessions - contact your local library to find out what free programs are available in your area.
