Storytime – Daddy’s Mo
What is Daddy’s Mo? Is it his mouth or is it mobile? Kids asked. No, it’s none of them. Daddy’s Mo means Daddy’s moustache. We chose to read Madhuri Purandare’s “Daddy’s Mo” for our Saturday’s story reading session. This is the story of a little girl named Anu, who is obsessed with her daddy’s moustache. There were Anu’s drawings of people wearing various costumes and moustaches, including a big fat one, a pencil-thin type, and a cloud-like one. Children were fascinated by the moustache that resembled a cloud, and they began to wonder, like Anu, how someone might eat if they had a gigantic moustache. We played jumbled words as part of our word game, and as the kids wished to have a moustache at the end of the story, we decided to make various moustaches for our craft session.
Storytime
“Sometimes all you need is a little splash of colour “
Our weekend story time was colorful this time. ‘Elmer and the Rainbow’ written by David McKee tells a story of Elmer the elephant who decides to give his colours to a colourless rainbow. It was fascinating to learn about different jungle animals. The children discussed the colours of rainbow and were curious to know about the situation of Elmer after giving up his colours .This story shares a unique message ‘Some things you can give and give and not lose any’. During craft time, we made colourful paper elephants.

Storytime : “Mangoes and Mischief”
Storytelling at our library is for kids to have fun, engage with books, enhance their creativity and discuss new ideas.This week it was a sweet-sour story, we chose “Mangoes and Mischief” written by Sreedevi Gopakumar. The story revolves around three characters Malu, Moidooty, Mangasura( demon). Kids loved the illustrations, especially Mangasura’s – they found him adorable instead of scary. This story set in Kerala, brings an air of mango- filled festivity and celebration in its pages.The author has mentioned some dishes made with mangoes such as pickle, lassi, dried mango and so on that are mouthwatering. Kids were craving for those by the end of the story. They absolutely enjoyed the story and the accompanying craft of making cute paper mangoes.
Author Reading Event: Vikram Sarabhai – The Space Man
Schoolkutti.com Children’s Library had the privilege of receiving Shailaja Nair, author of the children’s book “Vikram Sarabhai: The Space Man” on 13th August. It was a pleasure for all the participants to interact with the author and listen to her narrate the story of Vikram Sarabhai on the occasion of his 103rd birth anniversary. The author provided an incredible insight on the visionary that Dr. Sarabhai was and how much what we have today is a result of his genius and untiring efforts.
The children were bursting with questions that they wanted her to answer.
The number of questions asked was a testimony to the excitement and eagerness of the students. The curiosity and thought process behind the questions delighted the author.
Storytime – Granny’s Saree
For Saturday’s story session, we chose a simple, yet heartwarming story “Granny’s Sari” written by Asha Nehemiah. It tells about the journey of a granny and her granddaughter in search of a sari which was blown away by the wind. Eventually they do find the sari but not in the way they expected to. They met many persons who have used the sari to their advantage and finally it became clothes for 3 children of poor fisherwoman. This story teaches kids the value of giving and sharing. Kids liked the story and they shared their experience on sharing their lunch, snacks and pencils with their friends.
Sharing is when you become selfless and help others and find joy in it.
