This post is for librarians and all of you unlucky parents trapped at home with your restless kiddos on another snow day. I am on my third snow day this week!! Craziness! And while I'm adapting quickly to my blissful new hermit status at home drinking herbal tea, watching Hulu, and baking cookies... I doubt the parents of my students are enjoying this... This Adele parody video is a perfect expression of how I feel about snow days as an elementary librarian. Every line rings true for me: from the distaste towards indoor recess to having as many snow days as possible (but not so many that we need to make them up) to settling for "at least a good delay." If you happen to be one of those parents stuck at home this week with bored, rambunctious kids, I'm so sorry. My wish for you is a moment of quiet, and hopefully you can achieve that by printing this coloring book to entertain them for a while. After tossing numerous library books due to water damage, dog chewing, and God knows what else, I created this coloring book to teach my students how to care for books. A very popular character, Pigeon, from our favorite Mo Willems stories makes an appearance, so please: don't use this book out of an educational context because Pigeon is copyrighted and there may be consequences if you try to sell it. I printed and stapled copies for each of my kiddos at the beginning of the school year. First, I read the interactive story out loud and then we talked about books and what to do with them. Afterwards, I gave each student their own book to color and take home. The book is made of two 8.5" x 11" sheets of paper printed on both sides and stapled in the center. These files are at the bottom of this post for you to print. These two images must be printed on either side of one paper: and these images on either side of another paper: Use the page numbers to line the two papers up. Fold down the center and press gently to form a crease. Unfold and staple along the crease. For the books I made at school, I used a long stapler produced especially for stapling paper books. A regular stapler isn't deep enough (is that the right word?) to reach the center of your paper. BUT you can make it work by gently folding the edge inward, quickly stapling, and then unfolding it. The folded area may have a slight bend to it, but that's okay. Color and enjoy! Here are the files to print: Here are few other DIYs for fans of Pigeon: Pigeon Puppets Pigeon Peep Snacks
