Booksigning Event
Tuesday April 9th at 3:30 pm


Arlene Harper has dealt with big change before. In fourth grade, she came to the first day of school in new leg braces. But the changes that rock her world this year feel like a total earthquake. Inspired by a social studies unit on our country's biggest social movements, and perhaps prompted by the cafeteria's overflowing garbage cans, Arlene and her friends launch a campaign to reduce their school's carbon footprint. Like most rebellions, they face stiff opposition.



Authors Marybeth Caldarone and Carol Liu have been on the road promoting their newest book at our local schools. They're going to stop by our store on Tuesday. Here's a chance to get one of the rare copies personally signed by both! 

 

Just Arrived! 
  Check out our new display of colorful and reusable activity kits for kids from Melissa and Doug, featuring Surprise Ink, Color Blast, Water Wow, Magic Velvet,  and more...
  

Stop in and see what we have to offer. Your kids will love coloring the scenes and revealing the hidden colors and patterns. They also make for nice quiet car trips!
