Do animals get earaches? Sore throats? Stomach aches? Who helps them if they can’t talk?
|
Meet Jennifer Welborn, former science teacher and the author of Dr. Rosie Helps the Animals, an award-winning STEM picture book based on and informed by real-world veterinarians. Following a reading from Dr. Rosie, participants will get to diagnose and treat a stuffed animal - bring a stuffy from home, or borrow a stuffed friend to treat! Each participant will receive a mini vet kit and diagnostic/treatment sheet to take home.
|
This program is ideal for kids ages 4-8 and their grownups. Due to program limitations capacity is limited, so tickets for this session can be picked up on a first come, first served basis at the children’s desk starting at 1 PM on the day of the event.
