Children invited to fete Mudgy and Millie

| August 24, 2010 9:00 PM

Mudgy the Moose and Millie the Mouse are almost one year older and area children are invited to join in the celebration by creating birthday cards for Coeur d'Alene's favorite pair of hide-and-seekers.

Kids can create a card, and bring to the Seagraves Children's Library at the Coeur d'Alene Public Library, 702 E. Front Ave., by Friday, Sept. 10. The cards will be displayed during the "Mudgy and Millie Birthday Party" on Sunday, Sept. 12, beginning at 1 p.m. in the Community Room.

The celebration will include a group read of "Mudgy and Millie" led by author Susan Nipp; an appearance of the characters, birthday cake, and singing "Happy Birthday." Copies of the book and other "Mudgy & Millie" items will be for sale.

The book was created by Nipp, in part, to benefit the Library Foundation. All royalties from sales of the book and of related products go to the foundation. The book was illustrated by Charles Reasoner, whose illustrations were the basis for five "Mudgy & Millie" statues created by local artist Terry Lee.
