Carol Newman Cronin signs Cape Cod Surprise
Saturday, August 21, 12-1:30
Oliver returns in Cape Cod Surprise! The character we came to love in Oliver’s Surprise finds himself on Cape Cod aboard his grandfather’s boat, the beloved “Surprise” as a major hurricane threatens to make landfall. In 1954, Hurricane Carol’s wrath was felt from the Carolinas to Maine, and in Boston, she blew down the spire of the historic Old North Church. Her destruction was so complete that the name will never again be used; Carol was the first Atlantic hurricane name in history to be retired. Once again, young readers see New England coastal history through the eyes of our intrepid Oliver, now a seasoned time traveler. As Carol starts to bear down on the sandy coastline, Oliver must face his own fears and uncertainties while contending with a renegade aunt and another time traveler who refuses to let go of modern niceties.

Kindergarten Social, followed by Gramma's Critters
Saturday, September 4, 11 a.m.
Our annual Kindergarten Social takes place on Saturday, September 4 at 11 a.m. to welcome any and all new kindergartners to the world of school. There will be stories, stickers, singing, special guests, cookies and juice, and a little something to take home.
Immediately following the Social there's a very special event: the launch of Gramma's Critters, a brand new book, CD, and plush toy combination. "Gramma" is a grandmother who saves up scraps and makes stuffed toys for children. The cozy story and toy will delight kids from 2-6, and we predict the story and the toy will become a cherished lovey for many a preschooler.
The creation of Gramma's Critters is a family project: Cathy and Chuck Burgess are the publishers. The story is by their son C. [Charles] Dismas Burgess and illustrated by their daughter C.A. [Cathy Ann]. The audio narrator is WROR radio announcer and family friend Tom Doyle, and designer Clare Barros is also a friend of long standing too. The song on the CD is performed by son Greg Burgess. Come meet them all and see what these concerted efforts have produced!
