Flo,
Shout it from the rooftops: the new Dog Man book is here!
While we aren’t throwing a party this time–I wore the costume twice last year and need a break... it’s HOT in there 😂–please stop by after school today to pick up your copy and grab some free Dog Man goodies while supplies last. We’ll have stickers, posters, masks, and more.
Also, a couple fun downtown events this weekend:
- Saturday is the Downtown Los Altos Egg Hunt, starting at 10am. We recommend getting there by 10am sharp, as the eggs are usually long gone a few minutes later. (Limit of 5 eggs per child... don’t be an egg hog! 🐖)
- Sunday is the Head West Marketplace on State Street from 11am-5pm. This is a monthly event, every fourth Sunday from now through October.
📚 Books I’m looking forward to this week: In Jess Hannigan’s delightfully silly picture book debut, Spider in the Well, a town’s wishing well is broken and no one’s wishes are coming true. A boy is sent to investigate, uncovers a web of lies, and embarks on a quest to restore... JUSTICE! Love the illustrations; highly recommended for Jon Klassen fans. Meanwhile, Percival Everett’s James is a powerful reimagining of Huckleberry Finn told from Jim’s point of view. I’m only a few chapters in, but I can already tell this will be on a LOT of “Best of 2024” lists... read it before everyone else does!
See you at the store,
Chris
