The return of the school year brings a whole new children’s story to Downtown Middleton for this fall’s StoryWalk® adventure with "Oh No, BEAR!"
The fall StoryWalk® is an interactive storytelling experience with multiple stops throughout Downtown Middleton, following the story page-by-page with illustrated posters at 17 walkable stops. This free, family-friendly fun is presented by the Middleton Public Library and Downtown Middleton Business Association.
"Oh No, BEAR!" is written and illustrated by Joanne Partis. DMBA's website says this about the book, "When a tempting smell drifts into Bear’s cave one morning, he wakes up hungry. Bear’s clever nose leads him to the delicious food...but it belongs to his friends. Bear is sure he can resist. Until . . . Oh no, Bear!"
Pick up a free StoryWalk® map at the Middleton Public Library or download one here. This is Middleton’s 13th StoryWalk® and will be available in downtown business windows from Sept. 3 through Oct. 31 (2024). Free copies of the book are also available at the Middleton Public Library, while supplies last.
Thanks to the Friends of the Middleton Public Library, there are free copies of the book available to the first 600 kids who stop by the Middleton Public Library and pick up their StoryWalk® map.
Want to support the library’s next StoryWalk®?
If interested in donating toward the next StoryWalk®’s activities and book giveaways, please reach out to the Middleton Public Library at jsansing@midlibrary.org. Not all StoryWalks® can afford to provide free books to children and donations to the program help make this possible. StoryWalk® is presented by Middleton Public Library and Downtown Middleton Business Association.
The StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, Vt., and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library. StoryWalk® is a registered service mark.
