Kingwood Center Storybook Trail
The Storybook Trail at Kingwood Center Gardens is featuring a new book titled "Good Night, Bat! Good Morning, Squirrel!" This delightful picture book from Geisel Honor-winning author-illustrator Paul Meisel tells the story of a lonely bat who thinks he has found a perfect home — until he discovers that it's already inhabited by a persnickety squirrel. Squirrel does her best to oust her unexpected guest by leaving notes, but Bat misunderstands and thinks she is happy about the new guest and wants to be friends. Friendship eventually blooms as they find common ground despite humorous miscommunications and outward differences.
The Storybook Trail is open during regular winter garden hours, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., and is located along the Nature Trail that begins at the Peacock Playhouse. General admission is $5 for 13 years and older; admission is free for children 12 years and younger, and for Kingwood members.
