Our special guest storyteller this year was Ruth Atkinson and she has a pack of templates, scripts and other ideas available. Have a fabulous children's book week. This event attracts teachers and librarians and includes ideas for activities and programs to promote the books which have been shortlisted for the Children's Book of the Year Award, in public libraries and school libraries. We are seeking your permission to use the shortlisted titles published by your company in these ways during Children's Book Week. Make detachable nose, eyes, mouth and ears.
Kids then get up and arrange the facial features as remembered from the story.
Talk to the group about these artists, showing works from other books in your collection. Each child makes a leaf with a memory written on it, to add to the tree. Discuss a local war memorial. Blindfolded taste tests could also be fun. Suggest a topic and have each child in turn add a sentence to form a story.
