Keeping the Younger Ones Interested

Sometimes that's not necessarily the easiest task.  But with a pal like Jerry helping out, younger children will stay engaged.  

Jerry's a darn good reader and can handle most any prose, but he's particularly fond of stories about extinct beasts - probably the reason he and Mr. Mike get along so well.

He's adept at reciting Mr. Mike's poems.  He makes sure to recognize the author and illustrator of each book - and explaining to the children what that means.  He pauses after every page giving every child plenty of time to enjoy the illustrations.

This is Jerry's friend, the Oviraptor.  She acts out a Mr. Mike story explaining how she was mistakenly named "egg thief" while she teaches a valuable lesson on why you should never pre-judge a person...or a dinosaur for that matter. 

When he's not reading to children, he's talking with them...and sometimes sharing their lunch.
