Buttonwood Books & Toys is joining bookstores across the country by hosting a special story time to read “The Very Hungry Caterpillar.” Jumpstart, a national early education organization, has designated October 8 “Read for the Record” day. The goal is to break the record for the number of people reading the same book on the same day.

The purpose is to direct people’s attention to at-risk young readers. Buttonwood welcomes Mama Steph, musician, songwriter and children’s musical entertainer on Thu. Oct. 8 at 4 PM to read “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” and entertain children with her wonderful songs and musical program. Additional activities include a craft and refreshments.

Read for the Record is a national campaign organized by Jumpstart, in partnership with Person Foundation, to focus attention on reading and service, and support Jumpstart’s year-round work in America’s preschools. Please join Mama Steph at Buttonwood and help break the record for the largest shared reading experience ever.

Call Buttonwood at 1-781-383-2665, with any questions.
