Small Print Toronto hosted a sold-out literary bash for the seven and under set last Saturday. The nonprofit literacy organization’s sixth annual Totsapalooza featured U.K. author and children’s laureate Julia Donaldson and coincided with the 15th anniversary of the author’s bestselling picture book, The Gruffalo (illustrated by Axel Scheffler).

Hosted by author and CBC broadcaster Kevin Sylvester, the event included a reading by Donaldson, crafting, dancing, and a performance by Toronto indie pop quartet The Bicycles with the Movement Lab.
