Confused Animals and Traveling

I really thought I was going to have a small Story Corner today. In fact I thought I might have to cancel it, because the library was holding another kids event at the exact same time as my Story Corner. Instead I ended up with my largest group so far, about 17 attendees. I had read five books already, when I usually stop at four. At this point, one of the young boys who had been sitting quietly the whole time handed me his firefighter book and asked me to read it also. How could I turn him down? It is hard to read a book out loud when you are seeing it for the very first time, but in the end the boy was happy with my reading.
