  • 7/19 Saturday Story Hour at The Benton

    SATURDAY SPOTLIGHT STORY HOUR 
    JULY 19
    3-4 pm

    The Egyptian Cinderella is in the Spotlight — a familiar story with a twist — about a poor slave girl from Greece with no mother, no father, no friends. The only thing that makes her smile is a pair of beautiful rose-red slippers her master gave her. But a falcon swoops down and snatches one of the slippers and drops it in the lap of the great Pharaoh who is determined to find the slipper's owner and make her Queen of all Egypt!
