Children of all ages will enjoy this imaginative retelling of the adventures of The Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf, performed in both English and Spanish by the Storytellers at the Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library.

Video Description: I heard recently in a presentation about the Heartland Visioning Strategic Plan that one of the best ways to improve Shawnee County, Kansas is to read to our youngest citizens. That reminded me of the scene in To Kill a Mockingbird when Scout Finch already knows how to read because she sits in her father's lap while he reads her the newspaper every evening. In this video, I'm reading to my daughter from the actual Strategic Plan document, which you can view online at www.heartlandvisioning.com.

A brief literacy commercial... The poem is "The Unicorn" from the collection Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein. It's never too early to read to a child.

This video is a parody of the popular Mr T. and Shatner commercials, made by a Warcraft Blood Elf about her alternate life in the library…
