The Hannibal Parks & Recreation Department is providing a Storybook Trail for the first time ever in Nipper Park.

Storybook Trail is a free, family-oriented activity provided by Hannibal Parks & Recreation, in which the pages of the book are installed along the sidewalk.

The Storybook Trail will be Oct. 21-Nov. 3. The book is “It’s Pumpkin Day, Mouse!” written by Laura Numeroff and Felicia Bond.

Hannibal Parents as Teachers will hold a special storytime at the Storybook Trail from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Friday, Oct. 24.

Mary Lynne Richards, recreation supervisor with Hannibal Parks & Recreation, said the book will be available for two weeks to give youngsters a chance to read the book as they walk through the park. “Nipper Park is such a scenic place to appreciate nature.”
