Yertle The Turtle

"On a far away island
of Salamasond
Yertle the turtle
Was king of the pond.
A nice little pond.
It was clean it was neat.
The water was warm.
There was plenty to eat."
- Red Hot Chili Peppers






Thursday evenings at our local library is family story time. We are weekly visitors during the preschool story time offered in the morning, but wanted to see what Thursday's are like. This week they had Turtle Discovery as a special guest. With over 15 aquariums on display filled with turtles, frogs, and other amphibians, each child listened with wide eyes and an open mouth.




The biology lesson given was very informative, but a little over the head of my boys. Maybe it was the exhaustion from the first day of school and Daddy's anticipated arrival from across the Atlantic that had shortened their attention span. They still enjoyed seeing each animal out of their box with a close up view.
