What happens in a library after the doors have closed, and everyone left for the night? Kiddos, your favorite stuffed friend will find out when you bring them to the Northside Kenosha Public Library for a special after-hours adventure!
Join us on Wednesday, April 15th, at 6 p.m. for a very special pajama party story time and activity with your stuffed friend! Dashka Slater, author of the Escargot series, will be reading her newest release, "Good Night, Escargot". Following story time, the kiddos will get to make a bed for their stuffie and tuck their friend in for a sleepover at the library! Sorry kiddos, you have to go home with mom and dad.
Pick up your stuffie the following day, Thursday, April 16th between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. and hear about all the shenanigans that they got into!
*We recommend not having your child bring their absolute favorite stuffie as they might not be able to part with it for an evening.

About GOOD NIGHT, ESCARGOT:
In this perfect bedtime read, a cute French snail hosts a pajama party in this laugh-out-loud fifth picture book in the bestselling Escargot series.
Escargot is hosting a pajama party and everyone is invited! There is only one rule: Don't fall asleep! As the night goes on and Escargot grows tired, he struggles to stay awake. Luckily, he has lots of ideas to keep his eyes from closing. Looking at the stars with his trusty stuffed bunny, building a blanket fort, and telling scary stories all help. But will the call of Escargot's comfy bed win out in the end?
From New York Times–bestselling author Dashka Slater and former Pixar animator Sydney Hanson, "Good Night, Escargot" is an irresistibly sweet and charming story about sleepover fun and winding down from the day. This hilarious and interactive addition to the award-winning Escargot series is an ideal bedtime (or anytime!) read-aloud for little ones and animal lovers.
