StoryWalk at the French Art Colony

August 2024 Storywalk

The Library's new StoryWalk title is now on display at the French Art Colony.

Our title for August is Bad Hair Day written by John Phillips and illustrated by Jennifer Jamieson.

Do you sometimes wake up in the morning with bedhead? If so, you will sympathize with our narrator as he wakes up with hair sticking every which way. 

He's having a bad hair day!

He tries everything to fix it but nothing seems to work:

"Mousse ain't stickin'"

"Water ain't slickin'"

"It looks like a feather"

"from the back end of a chicken!"

The last thing he tries turns his hair a bright green!

What happens when he gets to school and finds out that it is picture day?

Read the book to find out!

StoryWalk is a way for children and adults to enjoy both the great outdoors and great children's books. Follow the pages of the story as you walk from frame to frame along the path. StoryWalk promotes literacy, physical activity, and parent/caregiver involvement.

The StoryWalk Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg Hubbard Library. StoryWalk is a registered service mark owned by Ms. Ferguson.
