About this event
Join us for a reading of My First Book of Fancy Letters by Jessica Hische! Did you know letters can be ATHLETIC, BUBBLY or even CREEPY? This colorful alphabet book highlights letters and fonts of all shapes and sizes on the way to exploring some big words. After the reading, be sure to check out PEM’s exhibition Pressing Importance: Salem and the Declaration of Independence to touch some metal type like the kind printers once used in printing presses. Designed for children (5 and under) and their caregivers, PEM Pals aims to engage and excite all of the senses through books, movement, music, art and hands-on activities. Held on the first Friday of the month at 10:30 am.
