About this Event

Looking for something to do on the last weekend of the holiday break? We’re having a penguin party! Come out for a special storytime romp, as author Paige Towler shares her latest picture book, Penguin Palooza: A Fun Photo-Filled Picture Book Celebration of All Things Penguin! The book is targeted at ages 5-8 but all are welcome. Following the reading, Paige will lead us in a fun wintery craft. She will also stay to sign copies of the book.


About the Book:
IT'S A PENGUIN PARTY! Join utterly adorable penguins of all shapes, sizes, and species in this playful picture book uniquely layered with supercute photographs, rhyming text, and fascinating facts about these incredible animals.
Come one, come all to the cutest, coolest party on Earth—the penguin palooza!
Featuring bustling, boisterous penguin huddles; penguins that shuffle, waddle, and belly-slide; and aww-inspiring babies, this is a one-of-a-kind soiree on the ice. Page after page, young readers will delight in photos of real penguins and the weird and wonderful ways they survive and thrive in some of Earth’s most extreme places. Kids will get to know many different kinds of penguins—from the beach-dwelling penguins of South Africa to the funny and festive macaroni penguin—and learn about their quirky behaviors, sweet families, and amazing body parts.
Combining poetry, nonfiction information, and stunning National Geography photography, it’s the perfect book for both bedtime reading and poring over in-depth penguin facts.
So don’t delay, and don’t be tardy … Come and join the penguin party!
