\nWe will be reading Belly Up by Stuart Gibbs. Twelve-year-old Theodore &ldquo\;Teddy&rdquo\; Roosevelt Fitzroy has murder on his hands and trouble on his tail. He believes that Henry\, the hippopotamus at the brand-new FunJungle\, has been murdered. T he zoo&rsquo\;s top brass claim the hippo went belly up the natural way\, but Teddy and his feisty friend Summer McCraken have other ideas. Could th e culprit be FunJungle&rsquo\;s animal-hating head of operations? Or is it FunJungle&rsquo\;s owner&mdash\;Summer&rsquo\;s dad&mdash\;a man who is m uch more concerned about money than animal welfare? The deeper Teddy and S ummer dig\, the more danger they&rsquo\;re in&mdash\;because when it comes to hippo homicide\, the truth can&rsquo\;t be caged!
\n\n< p>A book club for kids is one of the best w ays to combine learning and fun.

This program will introduce kids to awesome books\, get them excited abou t books and reading\, and help them develop social skills through interact ing with their peers.\n\n\nhttps://burbank. libnet.info/event/12807287 URL;VALUE=URI:https://burbank.libnet.info/event/12807287 ATTACH:https://static.libnet.info/images/events/burbank/4-5_BC_-_Mar._25.p ng END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
