“Many tremendous things are in store and wonders await!” according to staff at the library. “It’s going to be more giant than James’s peach, more enormous than a crocodile and more marvelous than George’s medicine! Join us as we celebrate the 100th birthday of Roald Dahl, the author who gave us the wacky world of Willy Wonka!”
Bring a blanket and pillows for the movie and your lungs full of air for the bubble blowing.
“We’ll have a gloriumptious game and quizzes throughout morning for those who can’t stay for the movie,” said the staff. “Join us for a phizz-whizzing morning!”
