2020 Groovy Joe: Ice Cream and Dinosaurs

State Groovy Joe Ice Cream and DinosaursLibrarian Eric Norris, along with the Kansas Reads to Preschoolers committee, is pleased to announce that the 2020 title is Groovy Joe: Ice Cream & Dinosaurs, by Eric Litwin. This picture book story will appeal to young readers, with a focus on the 2-5 years old age group.

Because we are unsure what story times will look like in November due to Covid-19, one of the factors for choosing this year’s Kansas Reads to Preschoolers Month title is that it is available digitally on Bookflix, which all Kansas residents can access for free through the State Library’s website. 

We’re also providing unlimited access to the eBook version of Groovy Joe: Ice Cream & Dinosaurs with absolutely no holds for the entire month of November. Use your Kansas Library eCard to log into the cloudLibrary app or website.
