World Book Day this year was on 02/03/17 and this was my first visit. How entertaining as nearly all the parents of the young children had been working hard to provide them with an array of colourful outfits depicting characters from children's books. I think the most amusing were the male teachers several of whom had dressed up as David Walliams' 'Boy in a dress' and that included my illustrator Neil Chapman. Once again I was delighted from the 60-90 children in the various years 3,4,5 and 6. There questions were inventive and their enthusiasm for reading and writing knew no bounds. Most hands went up when I asked them if they wanted to be an author one day, so again it's obvious the teachers are doing a great job. I've placed some books in the local post office so hopefully the children will be able to buy locally. Can't wait to visit a school on World Book Day again. What a treat I've been missing all these years.
