Today, LKS2 have taken part in a live Christmas reading event with Mr.Dilly. We met children’s authors Mel Taylor-Bessent, Andy Griffiths, Robin Stevens, Jenny Pearson, Sam Langley-Swain, and Ian Eagleton who told us all about the Christmas books they have written. We really enjoyed the reading Andy Griffiths did from his 156 Storey Treehouse Christmas book, and the whacky and crazy vocabulary Mel Taylor-Bessent shared from her Christmas Carroll book. If you pass one of us, feel free to stop and ask us what ‘fartyness’ means! It was also great to hear the authors answer some questions that had been sent in by pupils watching the event. We loved listening to where they get their ideas from, what they love about being an author and their favourite type of books to read!
