Storytime with Jon Lander
20/11/2021 11:00 am – 20/11/2021 12:00 pm | Bag of Books Bookshop
Come along to a really silly storytime with Jon Lander as he reads his new picture book 10 Silly Children.
This lift-the-flap fun and joyous story celebrates all things silly. This is the perfect way to teach children their first ten numbers, whilst also allowing for some fun along the way. After the storytelling, Jon will be doing a drawing activity. A brilliant way to start a Saturday!
ABOUT THE BOOK
This book has been specially designed for parents to read to their children so that they may learn how to sit quietly, eat their peas and respect their elders. The previous statement was a lie.
The children are behaving sensibly – painting peacefully, helping with the washing, brushing their teeth and more. But what is under the flap? Are they making a mess? Dressing up a lion? Brushing the teeth of a crocodile? How silly! Close that flap quick!
This book will engage young children, holding their attention through its interactive flap-out page design, the minimal use of illustration and the use of repetitive and simple phrases. Lander’s highly skilled and original illustrative style feels spontaneous and freehand which complements the ‘silly’ subject matter.

His critically acclaimed illustrations are made lovingly free-hand using watercolours and inks, giving them a pleasing sense of spontaneity and originality.
