Pearl River Library Sends Kids to Italy for an Afternoon
Elementary-school students learned about Italy and did crafts while watching Pinocchio as an activity for the library's summer reading program.
Children come up with a unique take on things.
One exchange during Monday's "We're on our way to...Italy" program at Pearl River Public Library demonstrated that.
"My dad taught me how to be Italian," boasted a seven-year-old sporting a shirt written in Italian. "He used to be Italian a long time ago."
