Dress-Up Story Time: Happy Halloween!
Saturday, October 29th at 3:00pm

Spooky (but not too spooky) stories and craft activities for Halloween. Costumes very welcome–for kids and parents!

Suggested for ages 3 to 8, but all ages welcome. Free.

You may know Peter for his 2009 book The Curious Garden, which was featured on the cover of last year’s ABC Best Books for Children catalog.

The Curious Garden, as well as his next book, 2010’s Children Make Terrible Pets, have steadily been among the bestselling picture books at Spellbound for the last couple of years.

You Will Be My Friend! is Peter’s brand new book. It is a follow-up to Children Make Terrible Pets, featuring the irrepressible bear Lucy searching for a new friend. Take a look at this video clip, in which Lucy interviews her creator Peter Brown.

Many of you may have copies of Peter’s books at home that you have purchased at Spellbound or elsewhere. Please bear in mind, however, that a book signing without sales does not encourage publishers to send other popular authors to that store again.

For that reason, you are welcome to bring a book from home to be signed IF you also purchase one or more of his books at the event. Please help us to bring more popular authors to our store by making their appearances worth the time and expense. All of Peter’s books make wonderful gifts, and one that is signed will be extra special!
