Book Stall Hosts Sleepy Storytime Dec. 5

By Erin Gallagher

As part of an ongoing series, the Book Stall will host children’s authors Dec. 3. Kids are encouraged to wear their jammies and bring a teddy.

Chicago-area writer Miriam Busch and illustrator Larry Day, the creators oft he picture book ”Lion, Lion,” will read at 6:30 pm.

The book is a story of a little boy searching for his cat, and meets a hungry lion along the way.

“Beautiful pencil and watercolor illustrations give this book an old-fashioned feel,” said retailer Erin Barker of Horray for Books in Virginia. ”With a trick up his sleeve, our brave hero outwits a hungry lion. With sophisticated humor and an ingenious twist, this story begs to be read and reread.”

The Book Stall, 811 Elm Street, Winnetka, offers the Sleeptime Series recommended for ages 3 to 6. It is free and open to the public.
