One Story, One Craft

Librarian Suzanne's got a short & sweet treat for young children.  One Story, One Craft will feature -- you guessed it! -- a brief read-aloud, followed by a demo of a simple craft you can do at home with materials you probably already have.  Today we're making sheep!  You'll need paper, a pencil, crayons, a glue stick, and cotton balls.
