With Jerry in the co-pilot's seat to show the way, it was easy to find the library in the town, saying that the library was actually a big bungalow, the outside looked very ordinary, with red walls, and a small parking lot in front of the gray roof, and now more than half of the cars have been parked.

As soon as I stopped the car, I saw someone holding Xiao Maotou's hand and walking towards the door of the library.

Listen to the car, Ju'an three adults with five little skin monkeys just entered the library gate, and saw a few big posters in the hall of twenty or thirty square meters, one of which Ju'an recognized the big shark O'Neill, this guy was sitting on a small bench, holding a book in his hand, smiling at the camera and writing a paragraph on it: Reading is an essential part of my life. Ju An looked at it and glared out of his eyes, this guy also reads? . If you look at the rest of the posters, they are probably all celebrities, and they are all signed like O'Neill's pictorials, telling the benefits of reading.

After passing through the small hall and just walking to the first door, Jerry took Ran Ran's hand and said to Ju An: "Uncle Ann, Aunt Dinah, Ran Ran and I will go here to study, you will come and pick us up later."

After hearing this, Dinah said, "Okay, you go read the book first, and come and call you two when we leave." After speaking, he helped the two little ones push the door open, and as soon as the door opened, a woman in her thirties came forward, and Dinah smiled at the woman: "The two children are going to read here, and we will come to pick them up after the reading party is over."

The woman smiled and said, "No problem". Then he squatted down and said to Jerry and Ran Ran, "Jerry? How are you preparing for the children's reading for a few days, you are here for the first time."

Jerry nodded and said, "Ms. Claire, this is my friend Ran Ran, my reading is ready, Ran Ran came with me to the book club." Ms. Claire, who was squatting on the ground, stretched out her hand to Ran Ran: "It's a pleasure to meet you, welcome to the library." Ran Ran shook Claire's hand, and followed Jerry into the room, Ju An approached the door to see, there were several rows of bookshelves in the room, and a large open space, there was a carpet on the ground, and a young man dressed as a tiger with a cat's beard on his face was sitting on a small stool and reading to a dozen or so children around, Jerry took Ran Ran and moved a small stool and sat in the middle of the children, listening to the guy dressed like a singing actor reading a book.

Ju An looked at Dinah and her sister and smiled and said, "This doesn't look like a library, it looks like a kindergarten, and someone has someone to read to children, it's really good."

Dinah explained with a smile: "Every year during the holidays, the teacher will remind every child to read for half an hour every day, but this is not a hard rule, the library will also organize a variety of reading clubs for children at this time, and children who perform very well will have the opportunity to read a paragraph to other children on the chair, just like Jerry today, the main thing is to cultivate children's interest in reading, and the Chengren reading area over there will be much quieter."

followed Dina and assigned, Ju An is responsible for taking Nini, Ju Rao is responsible for Tongtong, and he is taking Emily and the three adults to take care of a little hairy head each, and the task is assigned to be led by Dinah, who is familiar with the terrain, and when I walked to the door of the room, I saw an A3 paper-sized poster standing at the door, which was very childlike, with a cartoon corn character and two small cartoon birds, on which the story of corn was released.

Ju An pushed the door in, and saw that there were already more than a dozen children sitting on the ground, sitting behind them who looked like parents, Ju An and Dinah took the three little girls to find a place to sit down, and watched the conversation between the people dressed as corn and two little birds in the field.

The three people of the performance are very involved and in place, but the time is a little short, and the appearance of four or five minutes is over, waiting for the three people to bow to the children, and the parents behind them will pick up the little hands of the children in front of them and clap them, of course, there are those who know how to clap without taking them, for example, Tongtong's people have already patted happily as soon as they bowed, and they don't need to be taught at all.

Then the man dressed as corn said to the dozen or so dolls around him: "Now I will ask two children to come next to me and read the story of corn to you with me, who wants to sit next to me?" ”。 Before the painting fell, the little guys around them all raised their hands, Tongtong was afraid that people would not see it, so she sat directly in Ju Rao's arms and twisted and wanted to stand up, but was hugged by Ju Rao.

However, because of his enthusiasm, the corn man still chose Tongtong, and Tongtong and another red-haired girl with braids sat on a rectangular strip made like a tree trunk next to the corn man, and began to read a book around the corn man. said that they were reading together, but few of the dozen or so three or four-year-old children in this room could not recognize the words on the book, basically sitting next to the corn man and stretching out his little head to look at the painting on the book in the corn man's hand, the corn man read two pages to the children, and just put down the book, Tongtong touched the book and sat on Ju Rao's lap and began to turn it over.

Waiting for the corn man to turn around and find the book when he was looking for it, Ju Rao was embarrassed to take the book from Tongtong's hand, handed it to the corn man and said, "Sorry!sorry!".

The corn man read it, took the book, and said to Tongtong with a smile: "If you like it, can you read a paragraph to the children?" ”。

Ju An, who was sitting next to her, said to the corn man: "She still speaks English very fluently, and she can't recognize many words."

The corn man smiled at Tongtong and said, "Can you understand me?" What's your name, I'm the Corn Man". After hearing this, Tongtong immediately said: "Yes, corn man, my name is Tongtong." After listening to Tongtong's words, the corn man followed Ju An and said: "It's okay to look at the picture, the children can think whatever they want, and say whatever they want." After speaking, he pointed to the book in his hand, Ju An stretched out his head and saw that it was full of drawings and a page like popular comics, with more than a dozen color pictures on it, telling a story.

Ju An nodded, Tongtong happily held the book and took the corn man's hand and walked to the seat just now, now Tongtong sat in the middle, and the corn man did it by Tongtong's side and tilted his head to look at the book in Tongtong's hand, Tongtong opened the book and began to read nonsense: ".......... corn man said, little bird little bird, don't eat me, I'm afraid of hurting us to be friends, and then the two little birds became good friends with the corn man."

Looking at Tongtong who was stammering and looking at the book blindly, Ju An listened to a cold sweat, and then looked at his sister Ju Rao, who was also holding back, and her face was flushed, and she didn't know whether she wanted to laugh or what she wanted to do, and when Tongtong finished talking nonsense and closed the book, the corn man took the lead in applauding and praised Tongtong in his mouth: "This Tongtong kid reads really well, everyone applauds."

The children below applauded, Tongtong was even happier, bowed to the children, and returned to Ju Rao's side with a shy belly, Nini sat in Ju An's arms and looked at Tongtong with a look of adoration: "Sister is awesome!" ”。

Then the corn man and the two little birds dressed up began to perform again, and then invited a child to come up and read, what to read, is to look at the picture to talk or to look at the picture to talk nonsense, Tongtong is very enthusiastic every time, with Nini and Emily are also enthusiastic, Nini's English is really not good just getting started, Emily was selected once, on the front of the nonsense.

Ju An saw that this guy was no good, if he didn't leave, the three little girls were estimated to have a special reading club, and when Emily came down, Ju An immediately signaled Dinah and her sister Ju Rao to leave with the three enthusiastic little girls, and when they left, the corn man also gave each of the three little girls a sticker with a corn man printed on it, and pasted it on the girls' arms.

Took the three little people and walked to the two reading rooms, and finally found a no event, the three lively little girls with three bells and whistles picture books, the three adults sat on the ground and took the child in their arms and followed the book together, Tongtong and Emily sat for a while and then got up and played with the big plush toys in the reading room. In the end, the books that were picked out were only read with relish by the three adults sitting on the ground.

As soon as Ju An raised his hand to see that the time on the watch was almost up, Ju An said to Dinah and Ju Rao: "It's almost half past ten, how about everyone get ready to go back."

Dinah nodded and stood up, took the plush toys from the hands of the three little girls, and put them away, and then each pulled one out of the reading room, and when he passed by a reading room, Ju An saw several young people in sportswear, one of whom was reading to the children sitting on the carpet.

Ju An turned to Dinah and said, "This is a book for the children to read and everything is dressed up, and there are people dressed as athletes."

Dinah listened to Ju'an's words and stretched out her head to look: "It's not dressed up, it's the players of the town's rugby team."

After hearing this, Ju An said in surprise: "There is still a rugby team in such a big town? ”。

"Of course, not only the football team, but also the baseball team and the hockey team, but these players basically have a second career, and these athletic smarts are kind of side jobs and grow up training together, and there are people who join the brewers," Dinah took Emily's hand and walked in front of Juan.

For rugby, Ju'an knows nine out of ten, and knows nothing at all. As for what the brewer team didn't care about at all, they took the three little girls to the place where Jerry was studying, and when he stood at the door, he saw Jerry sitting on a stool with a book in his hand and reading.

Waiting to listen to Jerry finish reading, the reading club is also over, good guy Jerry This is the finale, no wonder, waiting for Jerry and Ran Ran to come out at the door, the three adults led the five little leather monkeys towards the parking lot.
