Season 2 (Ep. 4) — Cheryl Engel: Sadie the Kitchen Dog

“Story Time at the Museum” returns! Join us on Facebook and YouTube every other Sunday at 10am from May 9, 2021 thru July 18, 2021 for “Story Time at the Museum,” where a community member, museum docent or staff member reads a children’s book or shares a children’s story.

Gather your family around the computer and tune-in to Facebook and YouTube this Sunday, June 20, 2021 at 10am for “Story Time at the Museum!” Cheryl Engel will be reading her husband Chuck Engel’s children’s book, “Sadie the Kitchen Dog.”

Sadie The Kitchen Dog uses a cute story, fun words, and whimsical illustrations to describe the excessive eating behaviors of Sadie, the family’s black Labrador Retriever. Sadie spends most of the day in the kitchen and soon becomes extremely overweight. The family, which is also at fault, steps in to change Sadie’s bad behaviors and help her return to an active, healthy lifestyle. Sadie The Kitchen Dog is very timely and pertinent to the serious problems of childhood obesity and obesity in pets. The book sends an important message to young children: if you have a sedentary lifestyle, eat too much, and eat the wrong foods, you will be like Sadie The Kitchen Dog. And it sends an important message to parents: if you don’t play an active role in your children’s and your pet’s diet, exercise, and overall health, they will be like Sadie The Kitchen Dog. As the story goes, though, it’s not hard to become active and healthy again by following a regular exercise program and a diet of nutritious and tasty foods.

Mark your calendars for Sunday, July 4, 2021 @ 10am and tune-in for another episode of “Story Time at the Museum” with Kevin Carman reading “You Belong Here” by M.H. Clark.
