Traveling in a circle of hands
Posted by mayralovesbooks on March 25, 2007
This doesn’t have to do much with libraries and books, but we thought you would like to know what a great spider Sophie is. A few years back, she took a trip around the room in the hands of several first graders. After the librarian showed them how to hold Sophie, she took the trip all around the circle of children, and only two boys declined the offer to give her a ride. The trip was quite an experience for all and made for a good conversation about whether it is spiders that hurt people or people that hurt spiders. The last photo shows how the last girl to hold Sophie placed her gently back in an adult’s hands.
