Story Hour
Story hour is such fun,
When books seem to take wingi
Almost before you know it
You're a rabbit, or a king,
Or, you may be a pirate.
Who sails the white sea foami
Or, maybe you're an Indian brave
With a forest dell to roam.
Perhaps you will go skating
Down a silky rainbow trail;
Or, maybe you'll go up the hill
To help Jill fill her pail.
No matter what the story is,
There is magic in the land;
Come quietly to the library,
Story hour is at hand.
