Let’s read Bagel in Love!
Read Bagel in Love, written by Natasha Wing and illustrated by Helen Dardik , while you’re strolling the Madison Chocolate Walk! Bagel loves to dance but can’t enter the local dance competition without a partner. Will Bagel find the perfect dance partner in time?
Our Downtown Storywalk® will be on display from February 8th – 14th.
The StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library.
