Pete the Cat, the blue cartoon character from children's literature, will visit the Children's Museum of New Hampshire in Dover on November 14. The appearance supports the museum's celebration of Family Literacy Month in November.

The event is part of the museum's Books Alive program. During the visit, museum educators will read stories featuring Pete the Cat. A costumed performer portraying the character will dance while the educators read. Children in attendance can receive hugs and high-fives from the costumed figure. Families will also have the opportunity to take photographs with the character.

The museum offers two specific time slots for the appearance. The first session is at 10 a.m. This falls within the morning play session, which runs from 9 a.m. to noon. The second session is at 2 p.m. This occurs during the afternoon session, which runs from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Admission to the event is included with standard museum entry fees. Members of the museum do not pay an additional cost for this appearance. Reservations are required for entry. Parents and guardians can make these reservations through the museum's website.

The visit aims to encourage families to integrate reading into daily routines. The museum notes that the program provides an interactive environment for young fans. The character's presence is designed to make the act of reading engaging for children and their families.
