Percy's Uni-CORNER
Transportation

Hi, friends, it's Percy! This month, we're talking about transportation. That's just a big word for different ways to get around. Most of us get from place to place in a motor vehicle, like a car or bus. But other kinds of transportation include trains, bicycles, motorcycles, airplanes, boats, and even horses! I'm a unicorn, so I can run pretty fast, too -- how about you? What's your favorite way to get from one place to another? Whatever your favorite mode of transportation is, I hope you'll use it to come visit us at the Library soon!

Percy's Tip for Grown-Ups: Warmer weather means kids will be spending more time outside! If learning to ride a bike is on your kiddo's list this year, be sure that they're learning safely. HealthyChildren.org has a great article about myths and facts of bicycle safety!

Dig It, Digby!
Digby and his friends work hard, but eventually discover that there is more than one way to get the job done. One day, Digby decides it’s time to have some fun. He starts to dance, and soon all the other trucks join in. This is a raucous and joyous story of a very different kind of construction site.

Whiz Bang Science Show

Percy's visiting for... the Whiz Bang Science Show!

Why? Because big transportation vehicles often make big sounds! Visit Liberty Library on Wednesday, April 23 at 5:30 pm for The Science of Sound with Whiz Bang Science Show! Dr. Dave will teach about loud sounds with lots of interaction, audience participation, and brainstorming.
