The St. Louis County Library Foundation welcome two children's
literature superstars, R.L. Stine and Marc Brown to celebrate their first collaboration, The Little Shop of Monsters.
Stine is the creator of the bestselling Goosebumps series, which inspired the popular television show and many other spooky tales for children. Brown is the creator of the bestselling Arthur Adventures book series and creative producer of the children's PBS television series "Arthur."
The Little Shop of Monsters is a frighteningly funny picture book that invites children to choose their favorite. Will it be a sneezer? A tickler? Or one of the creepiest monsters of all? Click here to download a monster mask for your child to wear to the event!
Doors open at 6 p.m for this 7 p.m. event. Seating is limited and early arrival is recommended. Books will be available for purchase at the event.
At the St. Louis County Library, Headquarters Branch.
