Right now our library is gearing up for National Simultaneous Storytime next Wednesday 27 May. Feather boas are being found, sparkles and sequins are being sourced and you may hear the smoky sounds of jazzy numbers echoing through the bookshelves because this year the book we are reading is Whitney and Britney: Chicken Divas by Lucinda Gifford!
Whitney and Britney are two gorgeous chooks who live alongside Dora von Dooze. But Dora is perplexed - why do her dear chickens seem to sleep all day long? Dora decides to snoop. She follows the chooks out at night to the local jazz club where she discovers, to her amazement, that they are Whitney and Britney: Chicken Divas! National Simultaneous Storytime is organised annually by the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA). Every year a picture book, written and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator, is read simultaneously in libraries, schools, pre-schools, childcare centres, family homes, bookshops and many other places around the country. Now in its 20th successful year, it is a colourful, vibrant, fun event that aims to promote the value of reading and literacy, using an Australian children's book that explores age-appropriate themes, and addresses key learning areas in primary schools. To join in at home, watch Denise Scott read the book from the Play School Story Time couch at 11am on Wednesday 27 May on ABC Kids. and ABC Kids iview. Alternatively you can watch Emma from the Wiggles read the book online at Storybox Library https://storyboxlibrary.com.au/. Don't forget that you can also enjoy lots of other books on Storybox Library using our school username and password. You can find these on the Oliver Library webpage through the student portal.
