Join the MSPCA for a unique story time experience. Volunteers read animal themed stories to toddlers and preschool children, play games, and sing songs. After the stories, the volunteers bring out a few of the shelter’s animals to interact with the children. Kids can color with crayons, play with playdough, do puzzles, or read books while waiting their turn to see the animals.
