Cocoa and Crafts: The Coffeemonsters Book

Did you know coffee stains can be used to make silly monsters? Or that these monsters each have their own backstories and adventures? Visit the Museum for a reading of short stories from The Coffeemonsters Book, written by Stefan Kunhigk, while sipping hot cocoa (coffee for the adults!) and munching on treats. Then, families will make their own book of coffee-stain monsters and short stories.
