Following the reading there will be a book signing and children will go on a Letter Hunt on the Saklan playground.

This event is free of charge and open to the public.  Saklan families are encouraged to attend. Recommended for Pre-K through 2nd graders.

Today, students in grades PreK – 2 had the opportunity to meet author Frans Vischer. Mr. Vischer read from two of his most recent picture books, Fuddles and Fuddles & Puddles. The books were very entertaining, and the visit was both educational and inspirational for the students.
