Phoenix Books hosted Dog Man at its stores in Essex and Burlington, Vt., over the weekend; nearly 250 people showed up both days. Events and marketing coordinator Elaina Welles reported: "Kids loved the scavenger hunt, snacks, activities, and giveaways set up throughout the store, and everyone had a blast meeting Dog Man! We are grateful for Scholastic for the opportunity to host such a fun event and helping us get the kids in our community reading."
