UPDATE: Sharky the backpack had been reunited with his owner!
๐จ ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ๐จ
One of our Reading Ready Bus friends accidentally left behind their shark backpack, so we've been keeping Sharky the backpack company while we search for his owner.
Today, Sharky the backpack had quite the adventure around Hutto! He visited some local hippos, stopped at McAlister's for lunch (turns out his favorite menu item is the tuna fish sandwich... shocking, we know ๐๐) played games at Hooky, and cooled off with a sweet treat from Amy's Ice Cream.
After all that excitement, Sharky the backpack squeezed in a little reading time and a well-deserved nap.
While he's having a fintastic time exploring town, Sharky the backpack would really love to be reunited with his owner. If you recognize this backpack, send us a message so we can help Sharky the backpack find his way home! โค๏ธ๐๐ฆ
