SUMMARY:Halloween Story Trail: Room on the Broom
DESCRIPTION:Read a family friendly book while walking through the woods. Follow the illustrated signs along the trail as they tell a tale that puts you in the Halloween spirit. The free 1 mile story trail starts from the Oak Point Farm parking lot kiosk and can be completed at your own pace and on your own time. The current story trail features the read aloud book “Room on the Broom” by Julia Donaldson with illustrations by Axel Scheffler. \nThe witch and her cat are happily flying through the sky on a broomstick when the wind picks up and blows away the witch’s hat\, then her bow\, and then her wand!  Luckily\, three helpful animals find the missing items\, and all they want in return is a ride on the broom.  But is there room on the broom for so many friends?  And when disaster strikes\, will they be able to save the witch from a hungry dragon? \n

SUMMARY:Story Trail: A House for Hermit Crab by Eric Carle
DESCRIPTION:Read a family friendly book while walking through the woods. Follow the illustrated signs along the trail as they tell a tale that connects you to your natural surroundings. The free 1 mile story trail starts from the Oak Point Farm parking lot kiosk and can be completed at your own pace and on your own time. The current story trail features the read aloud book “A House for Hermit Crab” by Eric Carle. \nIn this story\, Hermit Crab outgrows his snug little shell\, so he finds himself a larger one — and many new friends to decorate and protect his new house. But what will happen when he outgrows this shell and has to say good-bye to all the sea creatures who have made Hermit Crab’s house a home? Filled with whimsy and wisdom—and based on the true behaviors of the hermit crab—this modern classic features Eric Carle’s trademark vibrant collage illustrations and lively text that make for an enjoyable read. Children facing change in their own lives will relate to Hermit Crab’s story — and learn a lot about the fascinating world of marine life along the way. \n

Marian and her friends find a special place in the desert where in time-honored fashion\, they play the games that will prepare them for their grown-up lives. They make houses\, drive pretend cars\, bake bread\, ride stick ponies\, fight their wars and bury their dead. Drawn from her mother’s reminiscences\, McLerran’s gentle text is both particular and universal\, as she fondly tells this evocative story.

SUMMARY:Story Trail Walk: Hey\, Little Ant
DESCRIPTION:Looking for something to do with your kids during this time of remote learning and social distancing? Come outside and read a family friendly book while on a short and easy hike!  The free 1 mile story trail starts from the Oak Point Farm parking lot kiosk and can be completed anytime during daylight hours. The current story trail features the book “Hey\, Little Ant” by Phillip and Hannah Hoose. Written first as a song by a father and daughter\, this illustrated book features the dialogue of a plucky ant and the kid about to carelessly squish it. Tension builds as the ant states a compelling case for its survival while the kid’s friends gather round to taunt the kid for hesitating. The final line of the book is a question–“What do you think that kid should do?”–leaving the decision squarely in the hands of the reader. Because the book asks children to decide the outcome\, it has been widely used by educators and caregivers to discuss everything from bullying to the ethical treatment of animals. The BRLT Story Trail Walk will feature a new book every few weeks throughout the pandemic at Oak Point Farm.
