Julia Durango to visit St. Louis County Library

Julia Durango will be visiting the St. Louis County Library-Daniel Boone branch on Saturday, May 12 at 2:00 p.m. Durango's visit is part of the Children's Book Week celebration at our library. Check out these great books and visit with the author.

"Cha Cha Chimps"Counting and dancing go hand in hand at Mambo Jamba's, the place where hippos hokey-pokey and meerkats macarena and ten little chimps do the cha-cha-cha, until Mama Chimp says, "Time for bed!" 

"Go Go Gorillas" Summoned to the Great Gorilla Villa by King Big Daddy to meet the newest member of their family, ten gorillas arrive on time using various forms of transportation, including hot-air balloon, taxicab, and pogo stick. 

"Under the Mambo Moon" Contains poems about the different people who stop by Marisol's father's music store on a hot summer night, looking for just the right songs to make their hearts fly home.
 

"Pest Fest" Competition is stiff at the annual "Pest Fest" talent show. Vying for the coveted title of "Best Pest of the Year," Ladybug sings a song that can "make the Manbugs swoon," and Firefly boasts of being a "lighthouse in the sky." Housefly feels woefully inadequate.
