Zoomy the squirrel part of family literacy month at CMNH

DOVER - Fans of Mo Willems rejoice! One of the stars of his latest silly series of early reader stories is visiting the Children's Museum of New Hampshire on Friday and Saturday.
Zoom Squirrel is just one of many zany furry characters in Willems' Unlimited Squirrels series and Zoomy is visiting CMNH to help guests celebrate Books Alive and Family Literacy Month.
Books Alive is one of the museum's most popular programs that gives young guests a chance to pose for pictures and interact with a lovable costumed picture book character, hear a special storytime, and take part in literacy themed activities.
Books Alive characters visit the museum throughout the year, and Zoomy's visit falls in November, when CMNH celebrates Family Literacy Month. All month CMNH offers author-themed activities and challenges, literary scavenger hunts, and visits and performances from special guests like Zoomy, as well as storyteller Simon Brooks on Nov. 20.
