And while talking about a scene in the book where Tina, the chimpanzee has a mishap with colored bubbles, Mrs Reddick brought out a bubble gun and sprayed bubbles into the crowd, much to the excitement of the children.

After the story, Mrs. Reddick answered questions from the students and from Ms. Reiser, President at Sand Hill.
