On Wednesday 26 May 2010 <strong>at</strong> 11:00am, Goroke P-12 College joined organis<strong>at</strong>ions from<br />
Broome to Hobart, reading the picture book Little White Dogs Can't Jump to more than<br />
100,000 <strong>children</strong> across Australia.<br />
Little White Dogs Can't Jump is written by Bruce Wh<strong>at</strong>ley and Rosie Smith, illustr<strong>at</strong>ed by<br />
Bruce Wh<strong>at</strong>ley. The story was about Smudge and his family who have a problem to solve.<br />
Smudge’s legs are so short th<strong>at</strong> he can’t jump into the family car. One of the <strong>children</strong> in the<br />
family devises a series of ingenious ways of getting Smudge into the car, but none of them<br />
work.<br />
The book was read to the Prep, Year 1 and Year 2 students who <strong>all</strong> had an enjoyable time<br />
predicting wh<strong>at</strong> was going to happen next to Smudge and how the problem was solved in<br />
the end.<br />
Now in its tenth successful year, N<strong>at</strong>ional Simultaneous Storytime 2010 aims to celebr<strong>at</strong>e<br />
and acknowledge the vital work being done in libraries, schools and communities around<br />
Australia to develop young people's literacy and numeracy skills.<br />
The event was organised by the Australian Library and Inform<strong>at</strong>ion Associ<strong>at</strong>ion.
