Amoeba Hop!

Beat the heat and hop into a puddle with Author/Illustrator Betsy Franco-Feeney as she reads from her six-foot wide giant book! Based on the song by Christine Lavin, Amoeba Hop tells the tale of the lonely paramecium who finds a partner through binary fission.

View a live sample from the Preserve’s Swan Lake under a microscope and become part of the story as we groove to the Amoeba Hop.

Appropriate for all ages. Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

The program will take place in the art gallery at the Visitor’s Center, no pets please.

Max: 20 people.

“With my books, I am planting seeds to grow a scientist or two. At the least, I hope to peak children’s curiosity of nature, to explore it and respect it.”–BFF.
