Pop-up
workshops held in schools
or libraries can be
up to 4 sessions per day.
These can take the form of
a demonstration of techniques
or be a hands-on
practical session.
The
workshops can be adapted
to most age groups
and there is also one for
teachers too. You can
hear an audio
interview with some schoolchildren
here.

'This
was a wonderfully
interactive session
with children and adults
totally engrossed for
well over an hour. The
results were stunning.
Robert is a great tutor,
encouraging the children
and offering help and
advice.'
Richard Young, ELH, Cambridgeshire
Libraries
''The day was such a
success. It's great to
see children so enthusiastic
about books. Today, lots
of children
were asking for 'that
football book'! I can't
wait to see some of the
pop-ups that the children
made. We will
hopefully have a display
in-store.''
Kate Tolhurst, Bookseller
at Waterstones, Stratford-upon-Avon
''Just a note to say
a huge thank-you for
all you did to make the
Big Book Bash such a
success on Saturday -
you were wonderful! We
have some terrific photos
of you creating small
masterpieces with the
children.''
Marilyn Brocklehurst,
North Norfolk Children's
Book Centre.
''I learned how to make
pop-ups''
''I think it was fun.
We should have more times
like this.''
''I liked looking at
the books. I will definitely
remember it.''
Children's comments from
Hunstanton Library
''It was a very successful
event at Merlin School
and the children loved
you and your books. I hope
we can
arrange another event
with you sometime in
the future.''
The Golden Treasury Bookshop,
Southfields, London
''I knew it was obvious
that he loved the 'Flight'
book
while you were here,
but after you left he
refused to
break physical contact
with the book. After
you left, he
went outside to play
and decided to climb
the neighbor's pear tree.
I found him stuck in
the tree, he couldn't
get down...because he
was holding onto the
book and he didn't want
to drop it. He read/played
with it all
evening and I made him
put it on the shelf for
the night, but when I
woke him in the morning
his arm was
around it - he decided
to sleep with it.”
Nathaniel's mom, Kathryn,
as told to Mary McCagg,
Candlewick Press.
