The April StoryWalk at Jane’s Garden at West Falmouth Library Is Hurry Up and Slow Down by Layn Marlow. Available to visit during daytime hours until Monday, May 6th.
As Hare races through the day, poor Tortoise can barely keep up. But when it’s time to bounce into bed, Hare is no longer in such a hurry. Hare loves to linger over every page and picture in their favorite book. After all, some things must not be rushed.
Marlow’s softly rendered pastel-colored illustrations clearly show the characters’ emotions, especially the love between the two as they share a second reading. Her artwork is richly detailed and realistic, while at the same time capturing the sweetness appropriate to a bedtime book.–Kirkus Reviews
The StoryWalk project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library.
