Chicken has some unexpected and exuberant cow visitors who have exciting plans for jumping, dancing, and wiggling on his teeny-tiny couch, and Chicken is none too happy about it. That is until the fun concludes with a quiet, cozy and delicious nap for all!

Billypar Quite a variety you have! Love The Other edition: those old - time slogans crack me up 😁 5y

Leftcoastzen @Billypar I‘m really careful with old mass markets but at about page 120 it went”CRACK” 5y

Billypar Ha- you should see my copies of Midnight's Children and The Golden Notebook...so much scotch tape! 5y

MrBook Niiiice! All good, I‘m just thrilled you‘re participating! ☺️🤗🤗🤗 5y

Leftcoastzen @Billypar sometimes the “well loved” books mean the most! 5y

Leftcoastzen @MrBook Thanks.a wonderful excuse to pump up my reading for a strong finish to 2019 5y

Andrew65 Great to have you participating whatever time you get to. 5y

vivastory Did you hear that an illustrated version of the Mueller report is being published? 5y

Leftcoastzen @vivastory 😂😂I‘m waiting for the emoji version! It‘s pretty dry , but nobody is requesting from Library so I‘m keeping it for now. 5y

A small but diverse stack of prospective reads for #MrBook1inaMillion. I have to work tomorrow and will begin in earnest tomorrow night 😊. (By the way, please tag me in this #Readathon‘s posts, just be sure to also tag the other tagged Littens for the particular #LitsyPartyOfOne or #24B4Monday raffle—when I enthusiastically go through notifications, I may inadvertently miss a few posts 🙈, and the others will be a back-up for that. Thank you! 🤗)

Pretty much the only snacks I‘ve had in my new place since I moved in have been fruit and nuts, anything else has been so rare I can‘t even think of what else I might have had here 🙈. This‘ll probably be it for a good long while too. @Alora Aww yeah 😎🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻, they are 😙👌🏻! 5y

TheBookAddict TATERTOTS!!! 🙌🏽 5y

MrBook @TheBookAddict But of course 😆🙈. @Alora I notice the “u” in favourite, which part of the Commonwealth countries can ye be found? 5y

Alora @MrBook I‘m in Ontario, Canada! 🇨🇦 5y

MrBook @Alora Niice! Heard it‘s beautiful up there. My one grandmother was from Canada. I‘ve met at least one Litten from Canada so far, the superb @RaimeyGallant 😁! 5y

Alora @MrBook Yes it is gorgeous! I‘m from the most Southern point in Canada, so its mainly city here. Once you get more north it is soooo beautiful, especially in the fall when the leaves change! 5y

MrBook @Alora 🤩 5y

Hooked_on_books Wow, that looks very unhealthy. I‘ll be right over. 😬 5y

RaimeyGallant Hey, @Alora ! I'm in Winnipeg. :) 5y

Jennifer3 Ooohhh I am stoked for my weekend! I took an extra day off plus my flex day is Tuesday so I have a 5 day weekend! Readathon here I come!!! 5y

Andrew65 @Jess_Franzino The goal is to read 24 hours from midnight Thursday to midnight Sunday, but as always the most important aim with #24B4Monday Readathon is to have fun reading with other Littens and regularly posting your progress whatever time total you get to. 😊 5y

Andrew65 @Jennifer3 That‘s what I call commitment. 👏👏👏 5y

Andrew65 @xxjenadanxx Great to have you with us. 😊👏👏👏 5y

Jess_Franzino @Andrew65 Petfect! I found myself hoping that somehow there would be a 24 hour readathon this weekend because I recently acquired SO many books that have been on my TBR forever! So excited ♥️ 5y

Andrew65 @Jess_Franzino Great timing! 👍 5y

TheEllieMo Is it from midnight in a specific time zone or midnight local time? 5y

DestaK Great timing as I have 8 hours in the car this weekend. 5y

MrBook @TheEllieMo Your time zone. 😊 5y

ljuliel @JacqMac I wasn‘t thinking of someone holding a book while on that little seat doohickey. I thought since Mr Book was the Honored Guest, HE could sit on the seat. He‘d have fun, I bet. I‘m a lousy aim, so he‘d never get wet if I threw the balls. 5y

This week's #storytime theme was dance! We busted out all the fun movement toys and noisemakers and some really fun, wiggle-encouraging books.

Before I became a children's librarian and read awesome picture books every day, I had never gotten a book stuck in my head before. Songs, yes. But some books just have a great rhythm to them that sticks in your brain, even after only a couple readings. I've been reciting the tagged one all week!
