Children's Trunk Show

Had a great time last week at The Children's Trunk Show in the Distillery District, Toronto.

The kids ran right up to the booth

and would take a copy of The Little Alphabot Book and read it!

One little boy named Carter made himself

comfortable right in the middle of the show to look at the book!


It was wonderful to see the children's reaction to The Little Alphabots as well as making some great con

tacts at the show with other vendors!
