A warm welcome was given to children’s author Simon Puttock when he spent the afternoon in school as part of his visit to Cowal.

Simon is the author of Mouse’s First Night at Moonlight School which has just won the Bookbug Readers 3-7 years category at the Scottish Book Trust Awards.

Simon entertained the children and staff by reading one of his other stories ‘The Baby That Roared’ and an interactive afternoon was enjoyed by everyone as Simon talked about how he had become a writer and was happy to answer questions form the children.

We would like to thank Pauline Flynn Reader Services Librarian from Argyll and Bute Council, and Pam Horton Library Supervisor at Dunoon Library for their help in arranging and facilitating this event.
