Unleash your creativity with writer Danny Katz and illustrator Mitch Vane as they offer a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the series and its popular TV spinoff, perform readings, do live drawings, and invite kids to make up their own stories. Get ready for whacky illustrations, yarn-spinning and lots of laughs!
