A talented five year old author from Topeka wanted to share his first novel with other kids, so he brought it to the library.  The Big Monster was written completely by Noah without any help from his mom. 

The Big Monster by Noah James Long

We had some fun on the set of WIBW Tuesday. Singing storyteller Kyler Carpenter was joined by local rapper Brail for a rendition of "Itsy Bitsy Spider." Plus, Kyler debuted his original song "Sunnyside Up Saturday" on TV. You can see his video performance inside this post. Then, bring your babies to the library April 10 for the next "Sunnyside Up Saturday Storytime with Kyler."
