St. Charles Public Library

Miller Haase Community Room

Stop by for a snack and a quick “taste” of the featured book as our Librarian reads aloud the first few chapters. If you like it, make sure to take home a copy to continue the reading fun at home!

This month we will be featuring Princess Pulverizer: Grilled Cheese and Dragons by Nancy Krulik; a hilarious book about a young girl who would rather wear armor than a crown, and her quest to become a knight instead of a princess.

After the program, take a copy home to finish reading it as a family. Once you're done, we'd love to hear what you thought! Loved the book? Be sure to continue the reading journey with the next book in the series. This Princess goes on EIGHT quests of kindness, so there's plenty more where this came from.
