STORY TIME with award-winning author Chris Raschka

Join us as Chris Raschka hosts Sunday morning Story Time and reads from his Thingy Thing series.

There are four books in the new series - here's a teaser for Whaley Whale:

It’s hard to be discreet when you’re a whale (. . . or a preschooler). With relatable obviousness, Whaley Whale engages in a lighthearted game of hide-and-seek with the reader. Is she on the table? . . . Is she behind the door? This methodical progression builds an anticipation that delights young readers, while the unmistakable foreshadowing keeps parents giggling along.
