Book of the Week
Duck At The Door
By Jackie Urbanovic
Color of the Week
Green
We are still in winter but we are bringing back the green! You may or may not be able to see green grass outside where you live. Regardless, we have a green mallard duck, the main character in our story this week!
Can you and your little sprout find 10 green things in your house?
