Books Alive with Bruce the Bear
Bruce the bear, that grumpy cook and mother to geese and mice, will be visiting the Children’s Museum of New Hampshire to greet young fans and help promote the love of reading! Books Alive seeks to make reading a regular family experience. Museum educators will be doing a story time while a friendly (but still grumpy) costumed Bruce visits! Bruce will be available for hugs, high-paws, and photos at 10am during the morning play session (9am–noon) on Sunday. The story time lasts approximately 30 minutes—please time your arrival accordingly to guarantee a visit with Bruce. Want to meet Bruce? Simply reserve spots in the museum’s morning or afternoon play session that correspond to the date of the Books Alive program you want to join—it’s included with museum admission and, as always, free for Members!
