Story Time: The Great Round-the-World Balloon Race
Friday, -
Join us for a reading of The Great Round-the-World Balloon Race by Sue Scullard and imagine all of the planning for a race across different climates and terrain in a hot air balloon. After going on this journey of the imagination together, we will learn about a real race around the world and the balloon that won the contest, the Breitling Orbiter. After the story, make a model hot air balloon so your toys can go on their own adventure.
ASL interpretation will be provided during this program.
