Stuffed Animal Sleepover

August 2009 at the ELANCO LibraryPart of the Summer Reading Program

Be Creative @ Your Library

36 stuffed animals were excited to spend the night in the library! Do you see yours?

Let’s start with story time!

HOW CAN WE HAVE FUN

IN THE LIBRARY?

Some animals used thecomputer to play Webkinz!

Some listened to books on CD at the Listening Station!

The little guys found Sam’s mouse house in the reference section.

Sam’s bed was a perfectfit for Poly!

BUT MOST OF THE ANIMALS WANTED TO PLAY

HIDE AND SEEKHAVEN’T YOU EVER WANTED TO PLAY THAT IN THE LIBRARY?

Jessica was “IT” so she covered her eyes and counted

to 100

Bunny found a good spot by the computers

Rex is hiding behind the dinosaur bank!

Monkey and Bowie peek to see if the coast is clear

Hey! Who’s in there with you?

Nice try, Rita, but I bet she finds you first!

Three bears squeeze under the bins and pretend they are in a cave!

Oh, she’ll never find youway up there!

Some animals found hiding spots on the shelves!

The holiday section is full of good places for a bunny to hide!

That’s good camouflage, guys!

I think she’s coming –quick back in the box!

Slithery said the book he hid behind made him hungry!

AFTER A SNACK, TWO BIG GUYS SAW

SOMEONE IN TROUBLE!

Oh no! A fellow stuffy was found dangling from the ceiling!

All the animals tried to reach Shrek, but they weren’t tall enough

The snakes finally reached the ogre!

They pulled and pulled . . .

Shrek landed on the other animals

And rolled down . . .

And he’s OK!!!

THE ANIMALS ASKED IF THEY COULD

PLAY VIDEO GAMESI TOLD THEM YES, BUT ONLY IF THEY WERE RATED “E” FOR EVERYONE

What’s this?

Drums?

Guitar?

Prayer Bear – not you too!

Hey! Rock Band is rated “T” for Teen! I said only “E” for Everyone!

Put it away, guys!

So they took turns playingWii Sports until bedtime.

IT’S GETTING LATE . . .

TIME FOR BED!

I can’t believe 36 stuffed toysall fit under one blanket!

One last bedtime story, then it was sweet dreams for the stuffed friends.

THANKS FOR BRINGING YOUR ANIMALS TO THE SLEEPOVER
