She and Gavin, who is 6-years-old, also made sure to pick out some movies and books to take home with them. “I like the library because they give you books,” Gavin said. “I like to read.” Custer and Shutt hope that activities at the library like the Elephant and Piggie Party would help more children share Gavin’s passion. “We want to encourage the love of reading,” Shutt said.

Barb Custer, children’s coordinator at the library, believes children also can identify with the characters in Willems’ books. “They are sometimes sad or feeling left out and going through really relevant situations that children can find themselves in,” she said. The Feb. 5 celebration, attended by about 27 people, included a skit performed by Shutt and Custer, activity sheets, craft time, “piggie cakes” for a snack and the game Piggie Says if time allowed for it. “It’s a pretty cute party and I’m glad they had crafts for us to do,” Michelle said.

COSHOCTON – Gavin Bassett couldn’t wait to get home to play with the paper bag puppets he made at the Coshocton Public Library. Once his puppets were complete he used them to act out Mo Willems’ book called, “There Is a Bird On Your Head.” Gavin and his mom Michelle Bassett made the elephant and pig puppets at the library’s Feb. 5 Elephant and Piggie Party, which was held to celebrate the characters created by author Mo Willems. “His books are funny and entertaining,” said Cyndi Shutt children’s librarian assistant.
