New Activity Cube in the Children's Department

Check out our new activity cube toy in the Children's Department! It has 6 different sides, including a maze at the top. We don't usually like to brag, but one child who played with it today thought it was so fun that it was made by Willy Wonka!  Willy Wonka sadly did not make it, but we think he would approve (aside from the fact that there's no candy in it, of course...)

In the mood to read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (featuring Mr. Wonka)? Look for it in J FIC DAHL. What about watching a movie about Mr. Wonka? The classic movie with Gene Wilder, Willy and Chocolate Factory, can be found in the J DVD W section (J DVD WILLY) and the newer version with Johnny Depp, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, can be found in the J DVD C section (J DVD CHARLIE).
