The Great Read
Sunday, September 27, 2009
On Sunday, grab a Metro North train to The Great Children's Read at Columbia University.
It's a free day of fun and books, plus live entertainment, on-site children's bookstore, readings, book signings and giveaways.
The New York Times has partnered with children's libraries from the three public library systems of New York City — Brooklyn Public Library, The New York Public Library and Queens Library — to establish the list of Favorite Read-Aloud Stories. Celebrities from film, TV, community and Broadway will read from the 20 books on the list live at the Great Children's Read!

Featured entertainment at the Target Children's Stage this year will include performances by Justin Roberts & the Not Ready for Naptime Players, Peter Yarrow, Playhouse Disney's "Choo-Choo Soul," John Carter Cash, Hip Hop Harry and Yo Gabba Gabba!
