Book Giveaway, 12-4 pm
It’s no trick–fans of the PBS Kids television show The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That! are in for a treat this Halloween with two holiday stories and glitter stickers in this Deluxe “2 in 1” Pictureback. In Trick-or-Treat!, the Cat and kids visit with a spider monkey, a coconut crab, and a fruit bat to see some amazing tricks and to sample some exotic healthy treats. And in Aye-Aye!, when Sally and Nick need help making scary Halloween masks, the Cat knows just what to do. He takes them to visit an aye-aye—a creepy-looking creature whose frightening looks are perfectly adapted for his environment. All in all, this is a Halloween treat sure to make parents, kids—and dentists—smile! (While supplies last.)
