FOR KIDS: Reading of Book About a Shelter Dog

Tribeca resident Lauren E. Evans will read from her first book,  “Audrey and the Fairies,” at The Mysterious Bookshop, 58 Warren St., on Saturday, Dec. 14, at 2:30 p.m. Written and illustrated by Evans, the book is about a girl who adopts a shelter dog, and incorporates a bit of magic and mystery to draw attention to the many dogs available for adoption from rescue organizations.

The book is aimed for children 4 to 10 years old.

A free "fairy necklace" made by Evans and based on characters in the book will be given with each book purchase.
