Join us at The Book Stall (811 Elm Street in Winnetka) on Saturday, October 4th at 10:30 am for a special storytime featuring authors Kari Lavelle and Lindsay Leslie! The authors will be sharing their newest picture books and signing their works! Ms. Lavelle will be reading Butt or Face? Volume 3: Super Gross Butts, round three of the hilarious, award-winning, guessing game picture book! Discover fascinating facts about disgusting animals while guessing if you're looking at a butt or a face! Ms. Leslie will share her newest picture book, Gus Hearts the Bus, a story about finding your passion—and jumping aboard! Gus loves buses so much, he learns everything he can; from memorizing routes to learning each bus’s number and its destination. This event is perfect for kids ages 4 to 8.
