WVPT proudly announces the creation of the first children’s book featuring Cubby, the WVPT Bear, titled Join Cubby, the WVPT Bear, At the TV Station.
WVPT Education Specialists Bly Brown and Kathryn Staton created the book, which is intended for children ages 4 to 8.
“We’ve been talking for years about putting a book together,” said Brown, who authored the book. “Since children love Cubby so much, we thought it would be great to provide a book that kids could look through whenever they wanted.”
