There's more on tap for kids than just readin', writin' and 'rithmetic this fall.
At a number of kid-friendly events on Long Island, little ones can get an ecology lesson from a furry little monster; teens and tweens can take a "one world tour" with a hot all-girl singing group, and young siblings can learn how to coexist without tearing each other's hair out - and there's singing and dancing, too.
How fun is that?
Here's a sampling of what's to come:
