“PJ Story Time: Royal Bedtime!” at Canton Public Library

            Canton Public Library’s second PJ Story Time for May is “Sing in the Spring,” so don your favorite royal PJ’s and join us for a story time that promises the royal treatment.  The story time will be held on Thursday,  May 24, beginning at 6:30 PM, and will be led by Ms. Heather.

            Among the stories to be enjoyed are two bedtime favorites.  The Kiss That Missed by David Melling tells the story of a disrupted bedtime when a busy King blows a kiss to his son.  The kiss goes astray, out the window and into the dark and spooky woods.  When the king sends a young Knight to retrieve the kiss, the Knight and his horse must face bears, owls, wolves, and a dragon before the kiss reaches its intended destination.  (Youngsters at the PJ Story Time will have a chance to play  “Pin the Kiss on the Prince.”) In Hush Little Dragon by Boni Ashburn, a young dragon’s bedtime is postponed when he and his dragon mama go in search of a snack.  How will they satisfy their bedtime hunger?  Their choices include a magician, a princess, a knight, and a king.  The story is set to the popular bedtime song “Hush, Little Baby.”

PJ Story Time runs from 6:30-7:30 PM.  Youngsters will enjoy stories, songs, a royal snack, and a craft and short movie to round out the experience.  PJ Story Times, which are for children 3 and up,  are free, but REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED.  Canton Public Library is at 40 Dyer Avenue, Canton.  For information:  (860) 693-5800 or www.cantonpubliclibrary.org
