Pinkalicious En Espanol

Rosado, rosado, rosado.

A Pinkalicious le encanta todo lo que es color rosado, sobre todo los pastelitos. Sus padres le advierten que no debe comer demasiados, pero ella no les obedece y ¡amanece completamente rosada! Ahora, ¿qué hará?

Este libro colorido, lleno de los objetos rosados más preciados de las niñas, como el chicle, las peonías, el algodón de azúcar y los vestidos de princesas de hadas, celebra todo lo que es color rosado, a medida que demuestra que siempre es mejor ser sí misma.

Pensar en rosa!

The Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia Lights Up The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Caterpiller and Puppeteer

The Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia uses puppets, fluorescent paint and black lights to bring to life a mesmerizing rendition of the The Very Hungry Caterpillar and other Eric Carle stories.

At the end of the show, the puppeteers answer questions from the children in the audience and show how they made the caterpillar puppet eat through an apple.

A New Light on Tiffany

A New Light on Tiffany is a traveling exhibit that highlights the work of Clara Driscoll (1861-1944), head of the women’s glass cutting department, who discovered a way to incorporate stained glass into lamps.

Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933) was the son of Charles Tiffany, founder of the Tiffany & Co. jewelery company. Louis Tiffany’s artistic inspiration often came from nature, and the lily pads in his Oyster Bay, Long Island pond inspired the pond lily globe lamp, c. 1906.

The exhibit will be at the Albuquerque Museum of Art and History, May 8, 2011 – August 21, 2011.

For more information and future dates, see the New York Historical Society.
