Storywalk @ Poquonnock Plains Park

Another beautiful day! We played at the Tercentennial Park (aka Poquonnock Plains or Soccer Park) after returning from CC Hamden. Turns out, our usual group of moms had the same idea and so it seemed we “resumed” our Tuesday afternoon meet-up with the nice weather. It was great to catch up. The park was busy. We also learned of the Storywalk that was set up beside the loop which outlines the soccer fields. Starting at the Tercentennial Park sign, 2-page spreads of the book “The Big Storm: A Very Soggy Counting Book” by Nancy Tafuri, are posted at regular intervals. My kids enjoyed running from board to board, reading along as we followed along the track – a half mile loop! And it was a good read.

The “Storywalk” project was done in collaboration with Groton Parks and Rec, as well as the local libraries including Bill Memorial Library and Groton Public Library. That “The Big Storm” was chosen for “Storywalk” was based on this year’s One Book Every Young Child book selection by representatives from 13 libraries over southeastern CT.
