Scallywags beware! Ike is mapping a path to the library

I hope you've been reading this summer or Mrs. Ashton will have you walking the plank. Here I am with Polly the parrot during our craft activity last Wednesday. Everyone made a great pirate map and lots of kids wrote pirate stories. Mrs. Stanley was laughing at all the great stories and names kids came up with for their pirate ship and what the pirates ate. Some of the pirates ate raw fish because no one knew how to cook. People wrote about flowers as big as skyscrapers and pirates even going to Disneyland.

Stop by the library and see me soon matey!

Love,
Ike

Ike Rocks the House !

I have one word to say about Guitar Hero.......FREE BIRD!









Ike and I can both play at the same time. What a great place this is. Too bad Mrs. Ashton can't get past the beginning level. It must have something to do with her age.







ROCK ON!

Love,

Ike

High Flying Storytime

Ike and I went out to Township Park for storytime today with Mrs. Stanley. We had more than 50 people there to hear stories about vacations. We traveled in a car to get there but talked about other ways to travel like boats, airplanes, trains.

After the stories Mrs. Stanley got out a parachute and man, what a ride that was. Ike got a little motion sickness but I loved it. One time I flew so high I did a back flip.

We like going to the park because we always see new friends. Maybe we'll see you next week at the park!

Come visit us at the library.

Love,
Ike

Storytime Rocks

Can you believe we have more than 700 kids signed up for summer reading! That's not counting teens and adults. Today we had storytime and the room was filled with more than 80 people. Wow.

Mrs. Stanley told stories about going on vacation. We even saw a short video about a Ferryboat. I was a little tired from my long trip to the woods this weekend so I did nap a bit.

That's me sleeping on the cardboard box. Do you see me?

Next we all colored a picture of different ways to travel. Mrs. Stanley's niece, Jacquiline, was here with our friend Michael and they were great helpers. They even gave us a preview of one of the books because they remember it from when they were little. We colored a picture of a plane, like the one Jacquiline flew on from California.

We now have two kids from California signed up for summer reading. How cool is that?

Thanks for helping today.
See you at the library.
Love,

Ike

Weekend with Ike

Hi Friends,

I spent the weekend doing some undercover work. I was trying to "Get a Clue" about local wildlife. Living in the wild can be tricky and you have to know your surroundings. Many birds love to eat wild berries like these I found here......I'd rather have a dog biscuit myself.

Here I am trying to blend into my surroundings. Many animals depend on camoflage to protect them from preditors. Wait a minute is that poison ivy? .... I better get back to the library.

I hope Mrs. Ashton has calamine lotion in the first aid kit.

See you at the library.

Love,

Ike
