Episode: We’re Going On a Bear Hunt

Have you ever gone on a bear hunt?

Oma’s going on one today in her

Reading Room!

Will you come too?

With tremendous pace, humor, and verve,

Michael Rosen

has retold a favorite traditional story.

We’re Going on a Bear Hunt!

The pictures by

Helen Oxenbury

are full of masterly characterization, delightful comedy, and high drama, set in lovely sweeping landscapes.

Together we will join a father and his four young children as they cross a field of tall, wavy grass, wade through a deep, cold river, struggle through swampy mud, find their way through a big, dark forest, fight through a whirling snowstorm, and enter finally enter a narrow, gloomy cave.

What will they find there?

I do hope you will meet me in Oma’s Reading Room to find out!

Where you may also discover a fun song to sing-a-long with!

Until next time…

remember Oma is sending you her 

hugs and her blessings

I do hope you’ll catch them and hold them 

real tight!

Episode: Dog Breath

A long long time ago, before I was ever an Oma, I use to travel to local elementary schools and share story-time with students in their classrooms or their libraries.

Oma has always loved reading to groups of children and I am very grateful for the many invitations received throughout the years to spend time with my little-friends in their classrooms & schools.

Sometimes Oma would even dress in character, so we could all use our imaginations better while reading the stories!

It was so much fun!!
