Preregistration is required for this free event and begins Monday, March 30 at 9:30 am. A limited number of tickets for Maine Maritime Museum members will be available online beginning Sunday, March 29 at 9:30 am.

Start your day with us at Maine Maritime Museum for an interactive story time! Alongside a museum educator and Splash, the friendly sea monster, children's book author Chris Van Dusen will join to share one of his stories inspired by Maine!

This month, we are reading Hattie and Hudson, and a signing of the featured story will follow right after! This extra special Story Time is presented as part of the programming for our exhibit, Upon That Isle in Maine: The Story and Works of Chris Van Dusen.

Story Time is generously supported by Island Treasure Toys and the Margaret E. Burnham Charitable Trust.
