Smokey's Storytime

Come meet Smokey, the Jersey wooly bunny who loves to read. If you would like to bring him a treat, please bring him carrots, kale, cilantro, and Italian parsley. Organic would be great! If your treats are not organic, please make sure to wash them thoroughly. Smokey's favorite authors are Rosemary Wells, Nancy Tafuri, Beatrix Potter, James Howe, and Mo Willems.

Smokey is also available for "read to your rabbit" sessions.
