Wychwood ... Four Days to Go ...

Still counting down and yet still on the events for Saturday because the programme is so packed full of amazing things for children and adults alike to enjoy.  In fact looking at the programme I wonder if there will be time to stop for breath or even lunch!?

John Dougherty, himself a reviewer for Armadillo Magazine will put in an appearance (and I hope to meet him for the first time too!).  John is the author of a number of books, perhaps the most well-known of which is Zeus on the Loose, a title that was shortlisted for the Brandford Boase Award, recognising it as an outstanding first novel for children.

Once a teacher John gave it all up for writing but still pops back into school regularly as a visiting author so his session will be well prepared I'm sure!  We are promised that John will read, sing, perform some poetry and be generally funny - great!

Ian Whybrow will take to the stage too.  An author since 1989, therefore very experienced, Ian has written over 100 books and won a number of prizes over the years.  For older children Ian will be a familiar name for his Sniff stories.  Little Wolf are a series of classic stories for 7-9 year-olds, Books for Boys are perfect for beginner readers and his picture books will be well-known to parents and toddlers which leads me nicely to reveal that Ian will this year feature Meerkats and Dinosaurs in his event ...

Yet more to look forward to for all ages ...
