The Monster Mac and Cheese Party: Storytime with Todd Parr
The Book Stall (811 Elm Street in Winnetka) is excited to host children's author Todd Parr at the store on Saturday, October 28 at 10:30 am for a story time featuring his new picture book, "The Monster Mac and Cheese Party!" Through his signature illustrations that explode with fun and flavor, "New York Times" bestselling author Todd Parr invites everyone to the funkiest, most unforgettable potluck on the block. With interactive text that invites kids to join in with their own silly versions, and bold, colorful illustrations, this is a wildly fun read-aloud with a positive message about the value of sharing meals with friends and trying new things. This picture book is perfect for Halloween story time and all year round. It’s a Mac and Cheese Party, so of course, we’ll have samples of macaroni and cheese! Mr. Parr will be signing his works! This picture book is great for kids ages 4 to 8.
More About the Book: We all know kids love macaroni and cheese. But who knew monsters do too? In this story, the monsters hold a mac and cheese party (no humans allowed) and share all their creepy twists on this favorite food. What do zombies like? Mac and cheese with eyeballs! How do sea monsters eat their mac and cheese? In the bathtub, of course! The party is going fine until the monsters are surprised by the unexpected arrival of humans at their party.
Kirkus says, "Thick black lines and neon colors make for a zany tale, perfect for group read-alouds. Parr keeps the laughs coming fast and furious. Monster lovers and mac-and-cheese connoisseurs are sure to eat this one up."
