3rd Annual Stuffed Animal Sleepover

Wild animals are back in the library!  This year we had cats, dogs, bears, tigers, birds, a wolverine, a turtle, a monkey, a cupcake, a superhero, and even a Pro-wrestler!

After reading The Baby That Roared and Dinosaur Vs. Bedtime, we tucked the animals in nice and snug for the night.









As usual, the animals refused to sleep.  There are far too many adventures to be had in the library at night!

Bear Party!
Cousins playing.
Run, Cupcake, run!
Sweet little chick.
Thirsty.
Old bear and young bear.
Making a surprise copy.
Mr. Jake shows this pup the ropes in the Circulation Department.
Emily Gravett is a favorite of this little monkey!
This little guy loves Emily Gravett, too!
Another surprise from the copy machine!
Wolfy climbs high!
Finally, a book about a moose!
Watching the sun come up.
iCarly marathon!
Spider-man helps this giant bear climb up the stacks.
Cupcake needs some new frosting ideas since some of our guests got a little hungry.
Chef Blue checking out new recipes.
John Cena reading up on his nemesis, CM Punk.
Owl and KooKoo Bird flying high.

They watched the sun rise and made a wish in the wishing pool.






This year had a record TWENTY-FIVE stuffies spend the night!  Thank you for visiting us and making our program a huge success!  We had so much fun!

This was such a great event. My son had such a great time. It helps him stay connected if even his stuffed animal can read! This was our first time, and had a blast! Good job Henry Ford Centennial Library Children's Section!
