Curious George is a favorite every year at Story Town.

Characters to Come to Life at Literacy Festival Tucson Citizen
Push for Early Literacy KOLD NEWS 13

Families came by the hundreds to see Curious George and all the book characters on parade at the sixth annual Story Town Family Literacy Festival on November 14 at the Jácome Plaza. A couple of thousand people enjoyed storybook theater, Irish dancing, bubbles in the lawn, fairytale games, and much more. “Hey, there are pirates over there,” exclaimed one 4-year-old, tugging on his dad’s arm when he spied the presentation for “Dirty Joe the Pirate, A True Story.” All the children took home new free books, and families left with information about reading to their young children--starting at birth--every day. The information distributed was part of the new Read to Me, Arizona! public awareness campaign. To learn more about the campaign and resources for reading aloud to children, visit readtomearizona.org. View slide shows from past STORY
