Join Señor Chon on Monday, February 14 at 10 a.m. on the SDPL Virtual Hub and SY Facebook page, for a special Valentine friendship storytime as he reads, "A Valentine for Frankenstein" written by Leslie Kimmelman and illustrated by Timothy Banks. About the book: "Frankenstein is really bad―at being a monster. He only has two eyes and no tail, he's kind of polite, and he's not even that disgusting. There's no way he'll be popular at the Valentine's Day Bash, where everyone is trying to be as revolting as possible. Frankenstein stands out at the Valentine's Day Bash for being less monstrous than the other guests, but to one smelly, rude creature that makes him the perfect valentine."
