Fort Worth, TX, March 17, 2014—The Amon Carter Museum of American Art invites families with young children to participate in this summer’s free Storytime series, held every Wednesday, June 11 through July 30, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.

Storytime uses cherished children’s books to make connections with artworks, and this summer’s series features verbs. Weekly themes include: June 11—Walk This Way; June 18—See and Be Seen; June 25—Play All Day; July 2—Sleep Tight (wear your PJs!); July 9—Sing Me a Song; July 16—Eat Up; July 23—Talk the Talk; July 30—Create a Stir.

“We are excited to see our youngest visitors swing into action during this Storytime all about verbs,” says Jessica Kennedy, public programs manager. “Bring your little ones every Wednesday for stories and fun art projects.”

During each Storytime, participating children will be registered to win that week’s featured books. A drawing will be held at the end of each program; those chosen need not be present to win.
