The Colgate Bookstore will present a morning of silliness with a Rhyming Dust Bunnies children's program on Saturday, March 20 at 11 a.m. The event will feature two stories about colorful dust bunnies, rhyming games, a related craft and a snack.

The program is free and open to children of all ages, but is mainly geared towards ages 3-7.

Bookstore staff will introduce children to this silly picture book series which includes Rhyming Dust Bunnies and Here Comes the Big, Mean Dust Bunny! written and illustrated by Jan Thomas. The stories highlight the adventures of Ed, Ned, and Ted, three dust bunnies who like to rhyme -- all the time! -- and their pal Bob who doesn't seem to understand how rhyming works.

Not only does this series teach children about rhyming, it also promotes patience, working together, and positive conflict resolution skills in a fun and light-hearted way. Rhyming Dust Bunnies has been chosen as a Kirkus Best Children's Book, one of the New York Public Library's Top 100 Books for Reading and Sharing, and is a National Parenting Publications Honors Award Winner.

Copies of this program's featured titles will be offered at 20 percent off to parents who bring their children to this event.
