What happens if you give a pig a pancake? The children gathered at the Sandy Library can answer that question and many more after spending Friday afternoon, January 17, with Scott Padgett of the Utah Jazz.
One of the stories Padgett read was titled "If You Give a Pig a Pancake." Of course, if you give a pig a pancake, he will want some syrup to go with it. And if you give him that, he will want something else, and so the story goes.
Padgett read the story and a few others to a crowd of young people gathered at the library as part of the NBA's Read to Achieve program. Jazz players are visiting libraries throughout the Salt Lake area during the 2002-03 NBA season. It gives the children a chance to interact with the players and use their imaginations as the Jazzmen read fun and exciting stories. The Jazz hope this activity will excite the young readers and encourage them to expand their imaginations through books.
