little critter escaped from Newt’s magical bag and
is now running amuck across the globe. Newt will
be sending letters and picture of where he thinks
the niffler might be. If you guess the right location
you will be entered into a raffle to win a fabulous prize.
Early Literacy (Birth-Kindergarten)
Early Literacy reading logs are 2-sided with a different game on each
