‘Wild Things’ come to preschool story time April 24

Guest reader Christina Brodie will show preschoolers where the wild things are later this month at Neighbor to Neighbor.

The next “Reading with Friends” is set for Friday, April 24, and features Maurice Sendak’s classic children’s story, “Where the Wild Things Are.”

Story time begins at 10 a.m., and is followed by playtime and a snack. Plus, each child or family will receive a free copy of the book to take home.

This is the third of four “Reading with Friends” programs scheduled this spring.

The story times for children 3 to 5 years old are all on Fridays and all begin at 10 a.m. at Neighbor to Neighbor, 103 E. Sixth St.

There is a limit of 30 children per session so parents must register in advance; call Neighbor to Neighbor at 262-4215 or email neighbortoneighbor@csjkansas.org.

The final story time in the series will be May 15, with “Sylvester and the Magic Pebble” by William Steig.

The program was made possible by a gift from the Cloud County Attorney’s Diversion Fund.

The Sisters of St. Joseph who operate Neighbor to Neighbor plan to offer another Reading with Friends series next fall.
