Let’s Go on a Book Adventure!

Hey there, little explorer! Are you ready to go on a fun adventure to find some books? Let’s get started!

Finding Books with Sticks

Our friends Melody, Scout, Boomer, and Crystal are on a mission to find books. They have special sticks to help them. Can you imagine using a stick to find a book? Let’s see how it works!

“Let’s bang our sticks so the books will hear us!” they say. But, oh no, no books yet! Maybe the books are playing hide and seek in the bushes. Let’s tickle them out with our sticks! “Ready or not, books, here we come!”

Waving Flags for Books

Look, they found flags! Waving flags might help the books come out. “Let’s wave our flags and see what happens!”

Meeting a Friendly Crab

Guess what? A friendly crab shows up! The crab wants to help decorate their sandcastle with seaweed. “Wow, the crab is making our castle look like a cake!” they cheer. The crab is now their new friend!

Hiding and Sneaking Adventures

Boomer loves to hide and surprise his friends. “Now you see me, now you don’t!” he giggles. Maybe he can sneak up on some books too!

Imagining the Sky

Our friends find a book called “Picture the Sky” by Barbara Reid. The sky can be so many things! It can be a blanket, a playground, or even a highway. Look, the geese and the plane are zooming by!

At night, the sky can tell stories with stars. Can you see the bear in the stars? Just like us, bears love adventures too!

Listening to Nature

When it rains, our friends listen to the sounds. “Drippity drop, splishity splash!” they laugh. Even Crystal, who doesn’t like getting wet, enjoys the funny sounds!

Let’s Explore Together!

Wherever you are, remember that we all share the same big sky. Next time you look up, imagine all the adventures waiting for you. Let’s keep exploring and having fun!

  1. Can you think of a time when you went on an adventure, like Melody, Scout, Boomer, and Crystal? What did you discover, and how did it make you feel?
  2. If you could use a special tool, like a stick or a flag, to find something magical, what would you want to find and why?
  3. Imagine you are looking up at the sky. What shapes or stories can you see in the clouds or stars? Share your ideas with your friends or family!
  1. Book Hunt Adventure: Create your own book hunt at home or in the classroom. Hide a few books around the room and give each child a “magic stick” (a simple stick or a ruler). Encourage them to use their sticks to “find” the hidden books. Once they find a book, ask them to share what they think the book might be about based on the cover. This activity helps children use their imagination and practice storytelling.

  2. Flag Waving Fun: Make small flags using paper and sticks. Have the children decorate their flags with drawings of their favorite book characters or scenes. Then, go outside and wave the flags to “call” for books, just like in the story. Discuss with the children how they think waving flags might help in finding books or making new friends, like the friendly crab.

  3. Sky Imagination Drawing: Provide paper and crayons or markers for the children to draw what they imagine the sky could be. Encourage them to think about different times of the day or weather conditions. Ask questions like, “What do you see in the sky during the day?” or “What stories do the stars tell at night?” This activity encourages creativity and helps children connect with nature.

Here’s a sanitized version of the provided YouTube transcript:

[Music]

We’re getting closer! Did you find a book, Melody?

Nope, I found three more! Look for a book stick—one for you, Scout, one for you, Boomer, and one for you, Crystal.

Uh, this is an interesting way to look for books.

But it’s worth a try! How do they work?

Any way we want!

Okay, let’s bang our sticks so the books will hear us.

[Music]

Wow!

[Music]

Huh, no books. Maybe the books are hiding in the bushes.

Hiding like in hide and seek?

Yes, and they want us to find them!

Oh, let’s use our sticks to tickle them out! Ready or not, books, here we come!

Books, we’re coming to find you!

[Music]

Tickle, tickle!

Hello? Any books in there?

Books are really good hiders.

Look, I have a flag!

Oh, I love flags!

I want a flag too!

Perfect! If we wave our flags, maybe the books will come.

Okay, sure! Ready?

[Music]

The crab is back!

It’s okay. You know, I think the crab is a little bit like Scribble.

Really?

Yeah, he was just trying to make our castle pretty by bringing his own decorations, like the seaweed. You were just trying to play, weren’t you, crab?

[Music]

Okay, let’s decorate together!

Hey, that looks really good—like a sandcastle cake!

A cake castle! Do you have any more decorations, crab?

I didn’t know crabs could make things so pretty.

I wonder what else the crab will bring.

Wow! Come on, everybody!

[Music]

Wow, thank you, crab! You made our sandcastle super fancy, and we made a new friend!

You know what that means?

[Music]

Hmm, I don’t think I’ve ever had a crab hug before.

Me neither! I like it!

[Laughter]

I bet there’s lots of adventure in here.

Yep, and surprises too!

What are you doing?

Hiding so I can sneak up on adventurous things!

[Music]

Boomer, you surprised me again!

Oh, sorry! I didn’t mean to, Scout. I was practicing my hiding to sneak up on adventure, like this.

Huh, now you see me, now you don’t!

That’s pretty good hiding, Boomer! Maybe you can sneak up on some books too.

Those books will never see me coming!

“Picture the Sky” by Barbara Reid.

Wow, that boy is swinging right into the sky!

There is more than one way to picture the sky.

There is!

I just see a blue sky.

Me too! Yep, it’s blue.

It can be a blanket or the curtain rising on your day.

The sky can be an eyeful!

That’s the biggest sky I’ve ever seen!

Me too!

It can slip into the background.

Oh, I see it!

You can find it up, down, or all around.

It can be a playground, a highway, a home.

The sky can be so many things!

This is the highway—see the geese in the plane? Zoom!

And here’s the playground—look at the ball!

And the sky is spiders and butterflies.

Home!

You can watch the passing parade.

You may find a story in the sky—see how the stars make the outline of a bear?

Bears like us!

Or a weather report.

Sometimes it’s movie night!

I love the boom thunder!

[Laughter]

The sky can play hide and seek.

It may say, “Let’s dance!”

Wherever we are, we share the same sky.

It is the roof over our heads.

We all share that sky—just like the woman eating breakfast.

She’s sharing the same sky as the boy going to bed.

Here, picture the sky.

How do you feel?

I know just what I’m going to do until the rain stops!

What?

Listen!

All I hear is rain—drippity drop!

I can hear the wind too!

I can hear the leaves rustling up in the trees.

[Music]

Now we’re birdies too!

[Music]

Hey, who wants to hear the splishy splash of a puddle?

Splashity splash!

Splishity splash!

Squishy splash!

Come on, Crystal, squishy splash with us!

No way! I still don’t like getting wet, but I do like those funny sounds you’re making!

Sweet!

[Music]
