Zooloween Reading with Author Alan Katz 

It’s Halloween at the City Zoo, and that makes it … Zooloween! The animals all dress up as each other and more (Cheetah becomes a grilled cheese sandwich!), and there’s a contest for best costume! Who will win? You’ll find out in this fun-filled, rhyming holiday romp! 

Local author Alan Katz will be reading his new book Zooloween and signing copies at the museum. This program is free to the public, but donations are appreciated. Books will be available for purchase. Come in costume and get a prize!
