 The Village Garage The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse
JE KAR JE POT

Through the year and no matter the weather,
workers at the Village Garage are always busy.
With the help of their trusty trucks, they clean
the streets of sticks and leaves in the spring;
patch potholes in preparation for summer traffic;
pick up the leaves in the fall; and spray the roads
with sand and salt during winter.
The Tale of Johnny Town-Mouse
JE POT
Do you ever feel that the grass is always greener
on the other side of the fence? Well, so did Johnny
Town-Mouse and Timmy Willie. One was a town
mouse and one was a country mouse, and when
they end up in each other’s worlds they soon
discover that they were much happier where they
started!
Mrs. Tittlemouse is a very tidy mouse
who loathes guests that are dirty and drop
by unannounced. The later happens quite
often due to the many sandy passages
leading to her house that attract bugs. Her
most dreaded guest is Mr. Jackson, a
pesky honey loving frog that never wipes
his feet! Uh, Oh!!
The Tale of Benjamin Bunny
JE POT
When Mr. McGregor and his wife leave home in
their gig, Benjamin Bunny and his cousin Peter
Rabbit venture into Mr. McGregor's garden to
retrieve the clothes Peter lost there in The Tale of
Peter Rabbit. They find the clothes on a
scarecrow, but Peter is apprehensive about
lingering in the garden because of his previous
experience.

J 811.54 SIN
What's brewing when two favorites; poetry
and fairy tales;are turned (literally) on their
heads? It's a revolutionary recipe: an

lovably modern take on classic stories.
First, read the poems forward, then reverse
the lines and read again to give familiar
tales a delicious new spin.
Shrek Forever After
DVD F SHR
After challenging an evil dragon, rescuing a
beautiful princess and saving your in-laws, what’s
an ogre to do? Well if you’re Shrek you suddenly
wind up a domesticated family man. Instead of
scaring villagers away like he used to, the reluctant
ogre agrees to autograph pitch forks. Shrek is
tricked into signing a pact with the smooth-talking
dealmaker, Rumpelstiltskin. Shrek suddenly finds
himself in an alternate version of Far Far Away,
where ogres are hunted, Rumplestiltskin is king
and Shrek and Fiona have never met. Now, it's up
to Shrek to undo all of Rumpelstiltskin's mischief
in the hopes of saving his friends, restoring his
world and reclaiming his one True Love and
family.

J 591.7 JEN
Growing up in a wealthy Jewish American family in
the late nineteenth century, Emma Lazarus “only
knew people / who had plenty of everything.” But in

having fled persecution, and she defied both the
prevailing view that women should keep quiet and the
widespread prejudice that immigrants would “ruin the
country.”

Puppy love takes on a new meaning in this animated

Saturday March 26, 2011

In the age-old battle between cats and dogs, one crazed
feline has taken things a paw too far. Kitty Galore, formerly
an agent for cat spy organization MEOWS, has gone rogue
and hatched a diabolical plan to not only bring her canine
enemies to heel, but take down her former kitty comrades
and make the world her scratching post. Faced with this
unprecedented threat, cats and dogs will be forced to join
forces for the first time in history in an unlikely alliance to
save themselves - and their humans.

**Rated: Parental Guidance** Length: 82 minutes
