Aaron Reynolds
Hey there Lion Cubs! Happy Friday! Welcome back for another edition of Long Distance Library! Today we are going to celebrate another children's author. His name is Aaron Reynolds. You may not recognize his name, but I'm sure you would recognize his books. Aaron Reynolds is the author of Creepy Carrots, Creepy Pair of Underwear, Nerdy Birdy, and many others. Each of these is in our library, and I hope to add many more of his books to our collection as we get back to school. So, for this Fun Friday, we are going to sit back and enjoy the books of Aaron Reynolds. Click here for my daily video and then let's get started!
Back in March when we began our remote learning, Aaron Reynolds began hosting his own Stay-At-Home Show on YouTube. After watching several episodes of his show, I can see why his books are so much fun. He is a very fun guy himself. He packs a lot of entertainment into just 20 minutes. He gives sneak peeks of his upcoming books, answers questions from viewers, recommends books by other authors, and then reads aloud one of his own. As of today, there are 9 episodes. I hope he does many more. We are going to start our Aaron Reynolds celebration today with Creepy Carrots. Jasper Rabbit loves eating the carrots from Crackenhopper Field. That is until the carrots start creeping up on him! But are they really there? Or is it just his imagination? Click here to see episode 1 of The Aaron Reynolds Stay-At-Home Show where he reads aloud his book Creepy Carrots!
Each episode of The Aaron Reynolds Stay-At-Home Show can be found on YouTube. As I mentioned, there are currently 9 episodes of the show. I have the link to episode 1 above, where Aaron reads aloud Creepy Carrots, and I am going to link a few more episodes below. However, if you would like to view the rest of the episodes, you can click here to go to a complete listing of The Aaron Reynolds Stay-At-Home Shows. Keep checking back, because he may add more!
We are going to wrap up our Aaron Reynolds celebration today with his other "creepy" book. Coming to us from Storytime with Ryan and Craig, we have the book Creepy Pair of Underwear. Jasper Rabbit is not a little bunny anymore. He's not afraid of the dark, and he's definitely not afraid of underwear. But when the lights go out, suddenly his new big rabbit underwear glows in the dark! Obviously, Jasper's not scared, but after trying everything to get rid of them, they keep coming back! Now that is creepy! To find out what happens next, click here to go to Storytime with Ryan and Craig and hear all about a Creepy Pair of Underwear!
