Ice Cream Topic for Bookstore

The Colgate Bookstore will host an Elephant & Piggie children’s book party on Thursday, July 14 at 4p.m.

Featuring stories, games, party favors and more, the event is free and open to children of all ages, but mainly designed for ages 4-8. Parents are asked to register their children in advance at 228-6944 or online at www.colgatebookstore.com/icecream. The event is sponsored by the Colgate Bookstore and Maxwell’s Chocolates.

Bookstore staff will present a dramatic reading of the new book Should I Share My Ice Cream?, the latest in the best-selling and award-winning Elephant & Piggie series by Mo Willems. The story will be followed by a silly Ice Cream Sharing Race, door prize drawings, and party favors for all children who attend.

To promote the spirit of sharing, all children who attend will receive a coupon good for one free kids cone at Maxwell's for themselves (donated by the Bookstore) and another free kids cone to share with a friend (donated by Maxwell's). Children are further encouraged to share by bringing one non-perishable non-expired canned or boxed food item to the bookstore to donate to the Hamilton Food Cupboard. 

Should I Share My Ice Cream? is the fifteenth book in this series designed for beginning readers. In this story, Gerald the Elephant is about to eat some cold ice cream on a hot day, when he remembers that his best friend Piggie also loves ice cream. Gerald is presented with a dilemma and has an important decision to make. But will he make it in time?
