Spiders, Bugs and Toads…Oh My !
A “Catch the Reading Bug” program of stories
As told by
Storyteller Karen Pillsworth
Listen…and you will hear stories of long ago and far away, and stories from today, as we go on an adventure into a world of spiders, bugs and toads, too. Some stories will find us in magical places and some will happen right in your backyard.
Listen…and you will hear how Anansi brought stories to the world, how Grandpa Toad gave good advice and how Grandmother Spider brought the sun.
Listen…and I will take you on a voyage of discovery into a magical land where time stands still and happily ever after is still a possibility. Come with me….I will take you there!
