From 2007-2018 traveling trunks were developed by museum educators to help expand upon the concepts in a years chosen book. Each trunk is filled with fun book-related puppets, games, and manipulatives for young children.
In addition, each trunk includes a guide for librarians and educators that encourage use of the trunk contents in activities that are aligned with Pennsylvania Early Learning Standards.
