11:00 a.m. Children’s storytime with Dawn Babb Prochovnik
It’s Potty Time!
This little pirate’s got to go potty! He wanders around sandy beaches and dark caves, discovering where the sea lion, the pelican, and even the octopus go potty. But where in the seven seas can a pirate go?! A hilarious adventure filled with playful anticipation and fun, Where Does a Pirate Go Potty? guarantees a good time and laughter.
When a cowgirl’s got to go, she’s got to go! As she walks through open pastures and deep canyons, she learns where the bison, hawk, coyote, and other animals go. But time’s a-wasting, so where in the whole West can this cowgirl go potty?! With great humor and playfulness, Where Does a Cowgirl Go Potty? will be sure to delight kids over and over again.
Author Dawn teaches sign language and songs to go along with her readings. Don’t miss this one!
12:00–4:00 p.m. Popup Shop with Friendly Monster Press and Picture Frame Press
