HOW DO YOU FEED A ZOO?!?


This week in library we are reading "Worms for Breakfast" by Helaine Becker.  I am amazed at how awesome non-fiction books are written and illustrated these days.  When I was a kid, I always thought they were so boring because it was just words and small pictures.  This book is so much fun because the pictures are funny and there are so many little nooks and crannies to read and learn from.  My eyes are hopping all over the pages! I have had several of you ask for the delicious recipe for "Diggers Delight".  Wasn't it funny to see our teachers be brave and try this yucky looking chimp food?  We have the best teachers! If you want to make this delectable treat, here's the recipe:

Digger's Delight

1 ripe banana, smashed 
1 cup cooked oatmeal, cooled
1/3 cup peanut butter
1 Tbsp honey
1/3 cup Hawaiian Punch or other fruit punch

1. Mix first four ingredients together.
2. Add Hawaiian Punch a spoonful at a time until it reaches a paste consistency
3. Spoon the mixture into a bamboo stick or lock it in a box.  Allow it to harden.  Chimps will enjoy trying to dig out the tasty treat using their fingers or other sticks all day.

YUM! YUM!
