Pete The Cat Pajama Party




Do your kids LOVE Pete the Cat!

Join the author this 
Friday, August 1st 
Saint Louis County Library Headquarters 
for a Pajama Party!

Doors open at 6pm!


Wear your pajamas for this fun evening of music, dancing and storytelling. In addition to performing a number of his much-loved children's songs, attendees will get to know the Nut family.


 In Litwin's latest book, it's bedtime at the Nut House, but Hazel and Wally Nut aren't ready to settle down just yet. Instead they're bouncing, wiggling, and howling at the moon, and it's up to Mama Nut to guide and wrangle her lovable and rambunctious little ones into bed. Litwin's use of repetition, call-and-response, and clever rhyme offers an interactive reading experience that invites readers young and old to join in and have fun.


The program is free and open to the public.
