Calling all young readers, pranksters, and pizza lovers! Join the Silly Stories Squad for an exciting, two-part book club adventure featuring Ratnip, Lost and Found in the City. We will dive into the chaotic world of Ratnip—full name: Extra Cheese Scratchy Paws Sniffs-a-Lot!—a frantic little rat who lives with his pizza-topping-named siblings in an old pizza parlor. When Ratnip finds a lost cell phone, he must brave the big, wild city on a midnight mission to return it before sunrise.
We will kick things off by making our own silly, food-themed rat nametags, read the story together and jump into hands-on activities. Kids will hunt for "shiny trash" in a themed scavenger hunt.
Session one of two for this book. Session two will be on Thursday, January 28th.
