As people who’ve been there, we strive to select themes or titles that will be interesting enough to pique not only children’s, but also the attending adults’ curiosity. Kids In The Cliff storytime at The Wild Detectives is usually every Sunday morning at 11. If there’s a book you’d love, consider our ordering service! Treasures, from home, our kids’ section or the local library, but they are always picked with love and a sense of adventure. Striking illustrations, great graphic design or standout writing. Looking for other excellent picture books we recommend! Particular emphasis is placed on *Special note for parents: As usual, we’ll have related extra books on hand in case you are Dring-dring, dring-dring! So come join us at The Wild Detectives’ little house for a cozy morning this Sunday. Kaya Doi instills the magic and wonder of children’s imaginations in her sublime outdoor adventure stories (think Lewis Carroll for the preschool set).

This week, our stories, including one about another wonderful wintry day, come to us from a contemporary Japanese author/illustrator. Hello kids! Neighbors, friends and families: welcome! It’s time for Kids In The Cliff weekly story time at The Wild Detectives! Last weekend, we read American author/illustrator Ezra Jack Keats’ 1962 classic The Snowy Day, a story of a child in awe of the snow in the city and others inspired by it.
