Averbeck, Jim. IN A BLUE ROOM

My grandson Aiden is getting so antsy about going to Kindergarten next month. He is excited but I think he is also a bit nervous. He is so excited about going to school and learning to read and write and all that stuff. In the meantime, I love reading to him and he is such a cuddly audience. Today's podcast is for one of his favorite books. He loves to tell me the ending before we get there!


Averbeck, Jim. IN A BLUE ROOM

“In a blue room, / Alice bounces, / wide-awake past bedtime.” Alice insists that everything in her room must be blue. When Mama brings in some flowers, Alice says no because they aren't blue. But they smell so wonderful. And the orange tea tastes so good. And the green quilt is so comfy. Can Alice forget that these are not blue and enjoy them anyway?
