DAVE SHELTON
Mr Dilly talks to author illustrator Dave Shelton about his latest book Monster in the Woods! Rumour has it that there's a monster in the woods. But why doesn't anyone do something about it? Full of wit and wisdom, Monster in the Woods is a future classic tale about family, friendship, and first impressions. Dave Shelton is the author and illustrator of A Boy and a Bear in a Boat (winner of the 2013 Branford Boase Award), Thirteen Chairs, and two books featuring Emily Lime, Librarian Detective: The Book Case, and The Pencil Case. Join in with Dave for some monster draw along fun and listen in to an exclusive reading from the book.
THIAGO DE MORAES
Also on the show, children’s author illustrator Thiago de Moraes with the brilliant Old Gods New Tricks - Trixie dos Santos is obsessed with trickster gods, so when the world is plunged into darkness, she knows who can bring back the light. Loki, Maui and the Monkey King join her on the hugest adventure, but can Trixie keep these maverick saviours in line? Full of heart and humour, it has the potential to spark a lifelong interest in folklore and legends. Join Thiago for a monster mash-up draw along, plus a reading and chat.
DAVID OWEN
PLUS an exclusive reading from best-selling author DAVID OWEN with his latest Alex Neptune: Monster Avenger, the much-anticipated follow-up to Alex Neptune: Pirate Hunter and Alex Neptune: Dragon Thief!
