·        The Pigeon Needs a Bath – On Saturday, April 5, at 11 a.m., stores nationwide will celebrate reading via a free event, for children ages 3 to 5, that will kick off with a reading of The Pigeon Needs a Bath by Mo Willems. The Pigeon needs a bath!  Except, the Pigeon is not so sure about that.  Besides, he took a bath last month! Maybe. It's going to take some serious convincing to get the Pigeon to take the plunge. Kids will enjoy coloring and drawing activities with beloved characters Pigeon, Elephant and Piggie, along with other fun surprises.

·        It’s an Orange Aardvark! - On Thursday, April 24, at 11 a.m., stores across the country will host a free It’s an Orange Aardvark! Storytime, for children ages 4 to 8, featuring a reading of acclaimed New York Times-bestselling picture book creator Michael Hall’s funny and suspenseful book about colors, ants, aardvarks and rainbows.
