Description: HOLIDAY STORYTIME WITH LOCAL AUTHOR JANE SUTTON
Holiday Storytime and Craft Esther’s Hanukkah Disaster by Jane Sutton It’s hard to pick the perfect Hanukkah gift, and Esther the Gorilla’s choices turn out hilariously wrong. A jogging suit for a turtle?! An elephant joke book for an elephant?! But everything gets sorted out when Esther invites her friends to a joyful Hanukkah party. Join local author Jane Sutton for an entertaining storytelling about a well-meaning gorilla who buys silly gifts for her animal friends.
