Happy Holidays From The Begonia House!




We'll be on break to spend time with friends and family. We wish everyone a wonderful holiday season. See you in 2017! ~ DMS

 Here's Frosty the Snowman for your listening pleasure. 
Fun to sing along. We made our own version too!


Ruby Begonia was a mystery they say. 
With her wild red hair and bright green eyes, 
she was lost on her wedding day.

Ruby Begonia may be sneaking 'round the way.
You won't see her, though she'll let you know, 
she'll be back again one day. 

Clackety, clack, clack. Clackety, clack, clack. 
Where does Ruby go?

Clackety, clack, clack. Clackety, clack, clack.  
Read the book to know. :)

Answer to Monday's Riddle: Frost in the Air...

Excellent guessing, Riddlers! Friday, we'll be keeping it cool with a frosty treat! See you all around the book block. ; )

A magic hat hopped away, a fairytale is what they say. Children danced with Christmas snow, putting on quite a show. Finders keepers, they ran away; the snow was sure to melt one day! A man in blue hollered "STOP!"; spinning 'round like a top. Not believing his own eyes, they paraded past to his surprise. Of course, a magician owned that hat, and he was a sneaky rat. Tried to take back his prize, greed sparkling in his eyes. Red poinsettias marked the spot where it became much too hot. A girl wept for her friend, thinking it the bitter end. BUT, magic has its own way and will come another day. 

What am I referring to? Answer: Frosty the Snowman!
