Book cover depicting rain coming down while a grumpy Bear holding a melting ice cream cone, a Badger, and a Rabbit all try to shelter under a blue umbrella. The word "Soaked!" is written above the umbrella.

The Library's new StoryWalk title is now on display at the French Art Colony.

Our title for June is Soaked! written and illustrated by Abi Cushman.

Bear is wet and Bear is grumpy.

"Look at all this rain," he says.

Bear wonders, how can he, Badger, Rabbit and Moose have fun when "Everything is dreary. / Everything is drenched."

Moose however, has a solution -- hula hoops!

Would Bear like to try?

Will Moose's suggestion put Bear in a better mood?

StoryWalk is a way for children and adults to enjoy both the great outdoors and great children's books. Follow the pages of the story as you walk from frame to frame along the path. StoryWalk promotes literacy, physical activity, and parent/caregiver involvement.

The StoryWalk Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg Hubbard Library. StoryWalk is a registered service mark owned by Ms. Ferguson.
