Author Visit

New author, Fiona Evans, visited Cromer on Monday 27/11 to read her first children’s book to some year one students in the library.

The students loved The Magic Mermaid Shell which Goode Books describes as:

The tale of a young mermaid princess, who can count on her friends to help save the kingdom from a dragon and a mischievous witch. A sweet story about friends helping out in times of need, aimed at preschool and kindergarten children ages 3-6. ... Google Books

The students had many questions to ask Fiona after the reading and launched with gusto into the two activities that she presented in response to the text.

In my experience, children love to meet authors. Their interest in reading is truly spiked when they have the opportunity to interact with an author in the flesh.
