Our new feathered friend will star in a series of local children's books and educational TV shows. The Early Childhood Development Coalition is hosting a series of events promoting early literacy for our youngest family members. Napoleon Peacock will be appearing all over town so everyone can join in on his adventures! The first book takes place at Mesker Park Zoo and is called "Napoleon Peacock's Adventure in Amazonia." Your children can experience Napoleon's adventures for themselves by sharing the story and enjoying meaningful play. You are your child's first teacher. Children may receive a free book of their own. Call 437-2674 or email napoleon@unitedwayswi.org. Children not yet in kindergaerten are eligible to receive all six local Napoleon books free of charge, mailed to your home. There is no obligation to buy anything ever - we are just trying to promote reading in your home! Please call 422-4100 or email napoleon@unitedwayswi.org to learn more!
