Test your knowledge of some of our favorite children's books!
Elementary-aged kids are invited to a friendly competition! See how much you remember from some of our staff's favorite children's books.
We ask that you please register (online or by phone) for this program. We will do our best to accommodate walk-ins, but space is limited. If you wish to be on the same team as someone else, please register together using the blue "add more people" button at the top right of the registration page. All registrants should be children (ages 5-12).
Questions will be read aloud. Points will be awarded on the basis of both correctness and speed. Small prizes will be awarded to the most knowledgeable competitors.
We will be using a cumulative book list for this match! Participants aren't expected to read all of the books on this list, but the more books you read, the more answers you are likely to know. Here are the books we may ask you about:
