I also recalled the story of the NYC newspaper delivery drivers strike in 1945 when Mayor LaGuardia read (with great description and expressiveness) the Sunday funnies over the radio for the kids. I found a photo online and wrote a short summary to display. I also displayed the latest Sunday "Zits" cartoon featuring Jeremy reminiscing with his mom about his old picture books, winding up on his mom's lap and saying, "Start from the beginning".<br /><br />Amy, Deerfield Public Library, ILAmy Robillardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07890746649176128276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124163029230555324.post-86665752507917038142014-03-06T13:25:28.008-06:002014-03-06T13:25:28.008-06:00Thanks for letting me know about WRAD.

We had officers from the police dept., sheriff's office and fire dept. read stories. One of the officers shared "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" and told the audience that it's the first book she remembers her mom reading to her and when she herself learned to read she read it aloud to her sister. <br /><br />Heather-NCHeathernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124163029230555324.post-90753314052685488722014-03-06T08:34:41.751-06:002014-03-06T08:34:41.751-06:00The whole staff pitched in for this: http://youtu....The whole staff pitched in for this: http://youtu.be/NhpG2ELW3Y4Bug's Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14134094026947990696noreply@blogger.com
