Book characters come to life in Mount Evelyn



The world of books sparks the imagination and illuminates creativity.

And that’s just what happened for the Mount Evelyn Memorial Pre School children on Thursday 24 August as they delved into characters and universes during story time at Mount Evelyn Community House.

Dressed up as their favourite book characters, the students sat through a book reading, danced and did activities to celebrate Book Week.

Embracing Bluey, Fantastic Mr Fox and even the Faraway Tree, costumes were diverse, colourful and unique.

All part of the learning experience and the Book Week 2023 theme ‘read, grow, inspire’, the children were immersed into the joy of books in a fun and engaging way.
