Join us every Thursday at 11 a.m. for Sea Tales. Each week we will read a story representing one of the animals or exhibits at the museum and complete an interactive craft or science activity based on the story. 

This week we will read. The Garden Next Door by Collin Pine. Bored and hot on a lazy summer day, three young children watch as birds, bees, and butterflies zoom past them, over their fence, and into their neighbor’s mysterious yard. But why are there no birds or bugs in their yard? Why does the neighbor’s yard glow with fireflies at night, while their yard is dark? Well, the kids are determined to find out … and maybe make some changes to bring a little nature to their backyard. Discover what they learn from their neighbor and make your own garden craft.
