Reading Matters

WOW! A virtual visit with Treehouse Series author, Andy Griffiths!
The 10th book in this popular series is available in early April.

Wilmette Students are the special guests at this event hosted by The Book Stall on Monday, April 12th at 6:30pm. The author visit will appeal to 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders along with others who might like a book with a soap bubble blaster, a time-wasting level, a 13-story igloo, a GRABINATOR (it can grab anything from anywhere at any time), a toilet paper factory, and an extraterrestrial observation center for observing aliens! So, just about everybody!
