The event targets children age 2-5 with a reading of "The Littlest Pilgrim" and other stories. The kids will also have a chance to interact with the Cat in the Hat and Clifford the Big, Red Dog characters, and have a snack with the Very Hungry Caterpillar.



Parents will be able to peruse information stations filled with tips on how to get their children ready for school.
