The library was invaded Wednesday afternoon by cookies, grapes, chow mein noodles, oreo cookies and bananas - that quickly formed themselves into delicious tasting bugs. Kathy Mullins from
U of I Extension shared techniques for having fun with food during this program, leading participants through making a spider, a beetle, and a caterpillar. Everyone had a great time, but the best part was definitely getting to eat our creations.

Along with singing "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly" and "Insect on Her Head," we also devoured
The Giant Jam Sandwich by John Vernon Lord, which tells the story of how a town ridded themselves of an invasion of wasps. A tasty desert was served up by J. Patrick Lewis' poem "Most Live Scorpions Eaten by a Human" from
World's Greatest: Poems. -Elaine B.
