Community Groups at the Market: CPRC Storytime

It's time for CPRC Storytime! Sponsored by Cheverly Parents Resource Center, Storytime takes place on the front steps of the Community Center at 10am. Parent volunteers read to a group of young children, and it's one of our favorite parts of the Market. 

This week, join CPRCs Deborah Bouvier for Jan Brett's Mossy. Mossy is the tale an amazing turtle with a gorgeous garden growing on her shell. Mossy loses her freedom when Dr. Carolina, a biologist,  takes her to live in her Edwardian museum. Visitors flock to see Mossy, but it is Dr. Carolina's niece, Tory, who notices how sad Mossy is living in a viewing pavilion. She misses the outdoors and her friend, Scoot. Dr. Carolina finds a way to keep the spirit of Mossy alive at the museum. She invites Flora and Fauna to paint Mossy's portrait. Then she and Tory take Mossy home, where Scoot is waiting for her.

Visit Jan Brett's website for fun Mossy-centric activities, as well as other Jan Brett-inspired activities for young children.

See you Saturday at the Market!
