The ToonSeum, Pittsburgh’s Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art, is celebrating 7 decades of Little Golden Books with a special read along party!
Join The ToonSeum on Saturday May 17th from 4pm-7pm as they celebrate a seven-decade long legacy of childhood memories through the iconic Little Golden Books.
Guests will have the opportunity to gain a rare glimpse of original art from many of your childhood favorites, including Pokey Little Puppy, The Tawny Lion, Tootle, The Little Red Hen and many more.
There will be special story times with local celebrities including WTAE TV’s Sally Wiggin and everyone’s favorite neighbor, Mr. McFeely!
