The Met Children's Program / KPBX Kids' Concert on Saturday April 17, 2004 This year's Kids' Concert will feature Adventures of Riley. In April 2003, Eaglemont Press launched its new Adventures of Riley children's book series at the Central Park Zoo in New York. This thrilling series, for children ages 4-8, offers an entertaining and educational look at such issues as wildlife conservation, culture preservation, and habitat restoration. Through the characters' zany misadventures, children are presented with important concepts and life lessons which help them gain a better understanding of themselves and the world they live in. Writers in the Schools Day 2004 Writers in the Schools Day will be on Friday, April 16. Local writers, poets and journalists pass the literary torch to the next generation.
