Enjoy a moment of calm and connection with your child as you cozy up for an episode of Storytime in the Woods with Ms. Becca.

This Week's Story: The Old Woman & the Mouse

In this week's story, a mouse visits an old woman who is knitting a sweater for her husband. The mouse returns again and again, wondering what will happen with the old clothes when they are replaced with new ones.

The Old Woman sat in a rocking chair knitting. As she knit, she sang a song:

“Knit and purl, I’ll knit and purl.
Knit and purl, I’ll knit and purl.”
