On Saturday, August 16^th at 10:30 AM we are delighted to welcome author and illustrator Jay Fleck back to The Book Stall (811 Elm Street in Winnetka) for Saturday Storytime! He will draw for us and share his new book, Tiny T. Rex and the First-Day Oopsies, the perfect title to prepare your kids for the first day of school or pre-school. It shares a reassuring and relatable message about trying new things and learning that mistakes and mishaps are how we all grow.
More About the Book: Despite being a little dino in a big world, Tiny doesn't mind taking on a new challenge, even when it's the first day of a brand-new school. From his giant backpack to his good-luck bowtie, Tiny is prepared for anything, and that means nothing can go wrong . . . right? With his best friend, Pointy, by his side, Tiny discovers that school isn't about being perfectly prepared--and that by trying new things and learning as he goes, he's more ready for school than he knew.

Rex series. He resides in a suburb south of Chicago with his wife, two children, and loyal dog, Otis. He spends his spare time running and reading (but not at the same time).
