From Bumble Books come two delightful books: Mu's Wolf Problem and Annie Learns to Swim, and from Imagnary House: Tina Tadpole: Witch in Training.

See how the stories come to life at this dedicated hour of enchanting stories. With songs and activities from the librarians, the children are entertained for an hour and encouraged to explore and love books.
