Children's Book Week
Last week beloved book character Corduroy and the Grandville Avenue Academy for the Arts helped us celebrate Children's Book Week!. After hearing the story, Ms. Kim from the academy came in to demonstrate how author/illustrator Don Freeman created one of the most recognized books, Corduroy.
Using a type of film-like scratchboard, kids were able to scratch out their own look alike Corduroy and make him into a puppet to take home. At the end of each program, Corduroy himself came to greet, hug, and high-five any kids who were anxious to meet him. Some kids even came to more than one program just to see the lovable bear!
