SUMMARY:Mr. Paca’s Garden Storytime: Mommy Time
DESCRIPTION:Mr. Paca’s Garden Storytime is a fun hour full of reading and activities in the William Paca Garden\, a secret treasure in the Historic District of Annapolis. Each program is designed for little ones\, 3-7 years\, with a book reading\, song\, and craft/art project\, plus time to explore the Paca Garden following the story hour. \nMommy Time by Monique James-Duncan\nRollicking rhyme and playful illustrations record a day in the life of two rambunctious children and their stay-at-home mother.
