Bookstore Brings Magic Treehouse to Palace

Sun, Apr 03, 2011

The Colgate Bookstore will sponsor Magic Tree House: Passport to Adventure, a national live children’s theater event Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. at the Palace Theater.

The show is geared mainly towards those in kindergarten through third grade students, although children of all ages and their families are welcome.

The event is free, but seating will be limited and tickets are required. Ticket reservations may be made at www.colgatebookstore.com/magic or by calling 228-7480.

Featuring Jack and Annie, characters from the best-selling Magic Tree House series by Mary Pope Osborne, the show combines storytelling, original songs, and audience participation.

Cameras are welcome. Come early to take a picture in front of the Magic Tree House Express tour bus.

There will be a “meet and greet” with Jack and Annie after the show, including photo opportunities, book stamping, and a give-away for every child who attends.

Jack and Annie will stamp one book brought from home, and an unlimited number of books purchased at the event, with an exclusive Magic Tree House stamp.

This local event is just one stop on the national Magic Tree House Live Reading Tour, which was launched this year by Random House Children’s Books as part of a major campaign to promote literacy and encourage a love of reading.

The shows promote the themes that characterize the Magic Tree House series: adventure, imagination, creativity and a passion for books and reading.  Since its debut in 1992, the popular Magic Tree House series has sold 73 million copies in North America.
