Simon Mole: A First Book of Dinosaurs!

Dinosaurs are the best! Join acclaimed childrens poet Simon Mole to celebrate some long necked leaf munchers as big as buses, some little feathery fighters with beaks, and all of the rest in between!

This 45 minute event for families begins with a performance of poems from Simon's brand new book (Sunday Times "One to Watch") followed by a range of fun (and quite silly) games and activities to delight dino fans of all ages!

Which dinosaur was barely the size of a dog? Which made a noise like a goat playing a didgeridoo? And what could a CHICKEN possibly be doing in a book about dinosaurs?!

Join Simon on Thursday 10 October after school at 4:15pm, at Brown Books Bookshop, 77 High Town Rd, LU2 0BW. Free to attend but tickets required. Book ahead as places are limited.

In partnership with Luton Literature, supported by Arts Council England.
