If you listen carefully to the lone tree behind Oak Lane School, it has a story to tell about… one owl, two spiders, three squirrels, four robins, five caterpillars, six ants, seven crickets, eight flies, nine ladybugs and ten earthworms, all living safe and free in their tree home. What does this tree need? The children know- it needs friends!

Children can call the dial-a-story line 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at the Attala County Library to hear this free story over the telephone at 289-8069. Dial-a-story is funded by the Mid-Mississippi Regional Library System and an LSTA grant from the Mississippi Library Commission.
