The children of Baytown brought their stuffed animals to spend the night at the library for summer reading. Ms. Tracey brought an unexpected animal, a tortoise, that the other animals befriended. The animals participated in various activities like racing the tortoise, telling jokes, getting food at Someburger, watching movies, playing hide and seek, sharing stories, having bubble time, and meeting the storytime bunny before the librarians put them to bed at the end of the night.
