## About

An early-evening holiday story hour at Cranston's Central Library for children ages 2 to 8 and their families. The group reads a gingerbread man adventure, sings songs, and then each child decorates an edible gingerbread man to take home or eat on the spot. Held in the James T. Giles Community Room, it lasts an hour and fits after daycare or school. Space is limited and registration is required.
