(photo by Cath Wooden) h h ooks for t etoddiers • BY CAROLINE CASS Very young children arercapable of developing an appreciation for good books. Books provide young children with tremendous enjoyment because they broaden the. child's imagination. Children are attracted to'a book by a bright, attractive design and use of colour, by an element of magic, by large -print type, and by its size and shape. Pop-up books are ex- - tremely popular with the very young child. Although there is a dearth of picture books for the very young, the following is an annotated list of some of the wor- thwhile selections at the ' Goderich Public Library. What -a -Mess by Frank Muir. Meet a puppy who's not really too sure who he is. He thought he was a hat until the Lady stuck him with her hatpin! He tried being a fish until he had to breathe under water! Everybody calls him "what -a -mess" and he can't quite figure out what that is!! Barbara and the Dormouse by Celestino and Urusla Piatti. A little girl who befriends a dormouse in her attic Brookside Broadcast BY MANDY MILLER AND JANICE POLLOCK On Friday, May 25, Brook- side School started their Field Day at 9.30 a.m. but cancelled it at 11.00 a.m. because the weather was too cold and windy. The events held were the 90 metre race, 50 metre shuttle relay, 400 metre relay. The other ev- ents will be completed on the first fine day, hopefully before Thursday, May 31 when the Regional Field Day is to be held at Brookside. One of the Brookside teachers, Mrs. Louise Wil- son, has been working with Mr. Coulter and 12 other teachers in Huron County, rewriting the Curriculum Guideline in Mathematics for Grades 1 - 6. On June 1, Woodland Heights Band, from London, conducted by Miss Mary Andrew, will be coming to the school to perform at 1.00 p.m. ILK.

Phone' 482.7103 learns that the dormouse would rather be free in the fields of corn than caged in her room. Turtle Spring by Lillian Toban. What is that bump under the lettuce bed? Could it possibly be a bomb? What can be done if it is? All the spring creatures anxiously await the bursting of the bump! The Lonely Dragon by Christiane Duchesne. Lucy the dragon is very lonely until her friend makes her very happy. Dragon on Parade by Mary Alice Downie. Everybody loves a parade, but, this year the children can't decide what to be. They combine boxes, sequins, gobs of green paint to make the Great Green Dragon -- only to find Alexandra is too frightened to take part! The surprise ending will be a delight to everyone! Because the Bayfield Lions Club carnival is so well-known in our area, children will be especially delighted to see drawings, of places they recognize and read about something so close to home. A delightful story fo1r the whole family. Leanne wants to go the fair with Amber her pony, but has trouble getting to the pony cart contest on time. After all she just couldn't leave a lost boy, a lost puppy, and an injured duck at the side of the road. Some things are more im- Liked Signal -Star Mrs. F.
