StoryTime @ Kaleidoscope!

OK, it's official! The storytime I mentioned last week, to be held at Kaleidoscope Books, Cards & Gifts, is definitely ON for
THIS WEDNESDAY at 1:00pm!

I will be reading the classic story of The Gingerbread Baby, re-told and illustrated by Jan Brett, followed by Jan Brett's newest book, an original sequel, Gingerbread Friends. Copies of these, and other books by this popular author, will be available for sale.

Please remember that 10% of all sales on Wednesday, December 17th will be donated to the Friends of the Upton Town Library!

And, in keeping with our Gingerbread Friends theme, I just heard this from Kaleidoscope's owner, Carrie Cilley:

"Thanks to a wonderful donation from Fresco's (they have a fabulous pastry chef) we will also have gingerbread cookies available for the children."

Hope to see you there!

Mark your calendars!
