Thank you to everyone who helped make the 6th Annual Read and Romp Boston a tremendous success!
More than 450 children and their families enjoyed a day spent with children's storybook favorites including The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, The Runaway Bunny, and more! Clifford the Big Red Dog and Curious George joined in on the fun, and children's storyteller musician Steve Blunt and author/illustrator Marty Kelley entertained guests with their creative music with a reading theme.
Save the date for Read and Romp Boston 2010: Sunday, November 7th, 2010.
