By The school half-term has brought to an end a busy month of activities at libraries across north London, for pre-school and primary school children, their parents and their grandparents.
To mark Grandparents’ Week, earlier in the month, Jason read his pre-school rhyming picture book What Can You See? at Rhyme Time sessions at East Finchley and Chipping Barnet libraries.
Later in the month, during the half-term week, he read A Zoo In My Shoe at Edgware and Finchley Church End, where the library teams had prepared a range of craft activities to run alongside the book.
Children had the opportunity to make animal masks and puppets and to draw animals in shoes, which they could then cut-out and lace-up.
The children enjoyed the readings so much that Jason brought the events to a close with some bonus chapters from his earlier rhyming book I Like To Food In My Welly.
Jason has read his books at a number of local libraries but was excited to be given the opportunity to reach young readers at branches a little further afield.
“There’s nothing like hearing children who know nothing about the book screaming with laughter, the first time they hear it,” Jason enthused. Another highlight for Jason was the mother who told him she was now on her third child and she’d never laughed so much at a book.
