StoryWalk® in Downtown Middleton

  • This event has passed.

Join us for the fall edition of our outdoor, interactive storytelling experience, featuring

Oh No, BEAR!

by bestselling and beloved author and Illustrator, Joanne Partis.

When a tempting smell drifts into Bear’s cave one morning, he wakes up HUNGRY. Bear’s clever nose leads him to the delicious food . . . but it belongs to his friends. Bear is sure he can resist.
Until . . . Oh no, Bear!

Start at Middleton Public Library to pick up a map and a free copy of the book for the first 600 kids. Follow the marked route to visit 17 stops around Downtown Middleton, each featuring an illustrated poster with a page from the book (either in shop windows or on lawn signs outside the building).

This event is sponsored and hosted by the Middleton Public Library and Downtown Middleton Business Association (DMBA).
