The Haunted Scavenger Hunt: A Spook-tacular Storybook by Steve Patschke, Illustrated by Roland Garrigue
About this Event

Designed for children ages 4-7, this interactive, spooky-fun storytime brings Halloween to life through storytelling, movement, and hands-on creativity.

ABOUT THE BOOK

When four friends find a mysterious box with the message “Don’t look at it, don’t touch it, don’t open it!”, they decide that they have to know what’s inside. And so they end up on a haunted Halloween scavenger hunt that leads them to the basement of a spooky house. But one by one, a friend slips away as the group gets closer to discovering the mystery behind the clues. Will they be able to reach the surprise at the end? This humorous Halloween page-turning story begs to be read aloud again and again.
