Join IPH at University City Library on Saturday, February 14, for a free screening of family friendly animated short films. Families will enjoy stories, songs, and movies celebrating dads and their kids. All activities support early literacy skill development and help foster a love of reading. Screenings will include:

PEEP AND THE PAPER PLANE: While Bird mother Paula is away searching for food, her son Peep gets unexpected help from a Paper Plane. Together they head out exploring the magical world around them. 

DUNDER: a wild and funny monster, is playing with his best friend Modika. Their snowball fight is interrupted when quiet Lex invites Modika to study snowflakes. Bulder tries to capture Modikas attention with a well placed snowball which hits Lex squarely on his head, resulting in Modika´s anger and rejection.

ROUFF: Three-legged dog sketch Rouff is sad and lonely. To escape his loneliness, he folds a new friend, Pete, from the paper he is drawn on.

 SCAREDY SQUIRREL MAKES A FRIEND: Scaredy is scared to make a friend. After all, they can bite. When he decides the perfect friend would be a goldfish – no teeth, his plan takes a surprising turn. In the end, he discovers that making the effort has its rewards.

Allergy warning: Doughnuts and light refreshments will be served at this event.
