About this Event

ABOUT THE EVENT

Join us for a special Halloween storytime featuring our friend, NC author Ashley Belote! Halloween costumes encouraged! Books will be available for purchase at storytime. Registration is free.


ABOUT THE BOOK

Every witch will want a wombat after reading this humorous picture book perfect for little readers who want a new pet!

Wilma, a young witch, cannot wait to get her very first cat! But when the pet store is fresh out of kittens, Wilma brings home. . . a wombat?! What a CAT-astrophe! A wombat is nothing like a cat, but maybe if Wilma puts cat ears on the little critter, no one will notice. . . . (Spoiler alert: they do.)

This bright and fun picture book teaches young witches that our differences can be our strengths when we have an open mind!
