The Colgate Bookstore will host an Elephant & Piggie Party for children on Tuesday, Sept, 14 at 4 p.m.

With help from the audience, bookstore staff will present a dramatic reading of the new Elephant & Piggie book by Mo Willems We Are In a Book!, followed by a story-themed craft, cake, and a party favor. The event is free, but to ensure enough supplies and snacks parents are asked to register their children in advance at www.colgatebookstore.com/party. Children of all ages are welcome, but the stories and activities are mainly geared towards ages 4-8.

We are in a Book! is the newest in the best-selling Elephant & Piggie series. When Piggie discovers that she and Gerald are in a book and she can make the reader say a funny word out loud, Gerald is tickled pink. But then Gerald realizes that the book is going to end soon--ack! What will happen then? Gerald just wants to be read!! As always, level-headed Piggie has an idea: she will ask the reader to start the book again. Using vocabulary perfect for beginning readers, Mo Willems has crafted a mind-bending Elephant & Piggie story that is more interactive than ever.

Everyone who attends will also receive a coupon for 20 percent off all Elephant & Piggie books in the store.
