Storytelling Highlights

Discovery Museum Magic Hour

BRIDGEPORT — Contemporary children’s stories combined with a crafts project make up the “Museum Magic Hour” — a series of Saturday morning programs presented regularly at The Discovery Museum.

During “Museum Magic Hour,” stories are told by a professional storyteller to children ages 21/2  to 5 years old, who then make a memento related to the story to take home with them.

Museum Magic Hours begin at 10:30 am and there is a $12 fee, which includes admission to all other museum attractions. For information and reservations, call 203/372-3521, extension 129.

The fall schedule is as follows:

September 3, My Many Colored Days by Dr. Seuss with paintings by S. Johnson & L. Fancher; October 7, Bunny Cakes by Rosemary Wells; October 21, Big Pumpkin by Erica Silverman; November 4, The Diggers by Margaret Wise Brown; November 18, Turkey’s Gift to the People by Ani Rucki; December 2, Peter’s Chair by Ezra Jack Keats; December 16, The Dog Who Found Christmas by Linda Jennings; and December 30, Let’s Go Home Little Bear by Martin Waddell.
